UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT

No. 95-1392

UNITED STATES,

Appellee,

v.

ERNIE SANTIAGO,

Defendant, Appellant.

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.
