DECEMBER 9, 1998















     Per Curiam.  Upon careful review of the briefs and record, we

conclude that the district court did not commit plain error in

admitting evidence of defendant's escape from pre-trial detention,

see United States v. Tracy, 989 F.2d 1279, 1285 (1st Cir. 1993), or

in instructing the jury as to its discretion in weighing that

evidence, see United States v. Hyson, 721 F.2d 856, 864 (1st Cir.

1983).

     Affirmed.  See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
