                         January 29, 1999

Before KING, Chief Judge, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Roberto Perez-Bastar (“Perez-Bastar”) appeals his

convictions for unlawful presence in the United States following

deportation, 8 U.S.C. § 1326.   He contends that the district

court abused its discretion in finding that the information

supplied by the Government concerning expert fingerprint opinion

testimony satisfied the court’s standing discovery order.   He

further contends that this court should vacate his conviction

because the court’s error prejudiced his substantial rights.

     *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
                           No. 98-50548
                                -2-

     Having reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties, we

need not determine whether the district court abused its

discretion since Perez-Bastar has failed to show any prejudice to

his substantial rights.   The judgment of the district court is

AFFIRMED.
