                      Per  Curiam.   We have reviewed the parties' briefs
                      ___________

            and the record on appeal.   We find no error in the  district

            court's  denial of  the petition for  writ of  habeas corpus.

            The  Attorney General  has six  months from  the date  of the

            final  administrative order  of deportation, or,  if judicial

            review is sought (such as was the case here), six months from

            the date of final order of this court, to effect deportation.

            8 U.S.C.    1252(c).  That period had not expired at the time

            of  Taylor's  habeas  petition.    Indeed,  it  has  not  yet

            commenced to run.

                 Affirmed.
