                 Per Curiam.  After careful  review of the briefs and the
__________



            record,  we are  not  convinced  that  the  magistrate  judge



            committed  any error.   We will  not second-guess  the weight



            accorded  to  the evidence  or  the  credibility due  to  the



            witnesses.  The  magistrate judge's findings  and conclusions



            were  adequately  detailed,  supported by  the  evidence, and



            consistent   with  the  applicable  law.    See  Clemente  v.
