Robert W. Rust, U. S. Atty., Jerome B. Ullman, Asst. U. S. Atty., Miami, Fla., for plaintiff-appellee.

PER CURIAM:
The district court's order denying appellant McCall's post-sentence motion for commitment for treatment under the Narcotic Addict Rehabilitation Act, 18 U.S.C. § 4251 et seq., was correct. Appellant had two prior felony convictions in Florida for possession of cocaine, in violation of 398.03 Florida Statutes, and for carrying a concealed weapon, in violation of 790.01 Florida Statutes, and thus was ineligible under 18 U.S.C. § 4251(f) (4) for NARA commitment.1
