            Per Curiam.   We find no clear error in the district

  court's refusal to award appellant an offense level reduction

  for acceptance of responsibility under U.S.S.G.  3E1.1, and we

  affirm.  United States v. Mata-Grullon, 887 F.2d 23, 24 (1st

  Cir. 1989) (no clear error in district court's denial of

  reduction under U.S.S.G.  3E1.1 to defendant who had pled

  guilty to drug offense and who had lied about his name, birth

  date, and citizenship) (citing U.S.S.G.  3E1.1, Application

  Note 4).

            Affirmed.  1st Cir. Loc. R. 27(c).
