APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO

[Hon. Jose Antonio Fuste, U.S. District Judge]



Before

Boudin, Circuit Judge,
Campbell, Senior Circuit Judge,
and Stahl, Circuit Judge.



Angel Ruiz Rivera on brief pro se.
Frank W. Hunger, Assistant Attorney General, Guillermo Gil,
United States Attorney, and Barbara C. Biddle, Attorney, Appellate
Staff, on brief for appellees.




APRIL 21, 1999



Per Curiam. Upon careful review of the record and
the briefs, it clearly appears that this appeal presents no
substantial issue. Given that the district court fees already
had been paid and that appellant's motion for in forma pauperis
status did not refer to any appeal, nor was there any
appealable order at that time, the motion was frivolous. This
appeal is likewise frivolous.
The order is affirmed, and the appeal is dismissed.
See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
