IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 95-10278
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
GREGORY SAURI,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
(3:92-CR-492-X)

contention regarding time limits are without merit. Finally, we
are persuaded that the district court acted within its discretion
in ordering revocation and rejecting further pursuit of the issue
of defendant's competency.
AFFIRMED.
