                    APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT


                          FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS


                    [Hon. Michael A. Ponsor, U.S. District Judge]


                                ____________________


                                       Before


                               Torruella, Chief Judge,

                          Stahl and Lynch, Circuit Judges.


                                ____________________


            Antoinette L. Hall and Payne & Hall on brief for appellant.

            Donald K.  Stern,  United States  Attorney,  and Andrew  Levchuk,

       Assistant
United States Attorney, on Motion for Summary Disposition for

       appellee.



                                ____________________


                                   April 14, 1997

                                ____________________







                 Per  Curiam.    Upon  careful  review  of  the   record,


            appellant's brief, and  the government's  motion for  summary


            disposition,
we
perceive
no error in appellant's sentence as an


            armed career criminal under 18 U.S.C. S 924(e)(1).  His three


            prior convictions properly were counted against him,  because


            they
involved
different
dates, locations, and victims; it makes


            no
difference
that
two
of the convictions were consolidated for


            sentencing or  that  all three  of  the sentences  were  made


            concurrent.  See United States v. Riddle, 47 F.3d 460, 461-62


            (1st Cir. 1995).


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