Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                              _____________


PER CURIAM.


     Cedric L. Roulette appeals the sentence imposed by the district
court.    Having reviewed the record, we reject Roulette's contention that
the district court improperly enhanced Roulette's sentence for possession
of a firearm.    We also reject Roulette's argument that the sentence imposed
was vindictive.     The district court's sentence was correct and further
discussion is not warranted.     We affirm.   See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
