Per Curiam. We have carefully reviewed the briefs __________

and record. The district court's remarks, read as a whole,

indicate that regardless whether defendant's state criminal

offenses were concentrated or spread out, the court was not

inclined to exercise its discretion to depart downward

because the fact remained that defendant had engaged in

serious misconduct. Consequently, we reject defendant's

argument that he was sentenced on the basis of materially

inaccurate information.

The judgment is summarily affirmed. Loc. R. 27.1. ________
