OPINION OF THE COURT

GIBBONS, Circuit Judge.

St. Clair Springette appeals his conviction on two counts of burglary, V.I.Code Ann. tit. 14 § 444(1) (Supp.1978), and two counts of grand larceny, V.I.Code Ann. tit. 14 § 1083(1) (1964). He contends that the conviction was the result of constitutional error in that the district court refused to enforce the government’s initial plea proposal to which the defendant had agreed to plead guilty. We find no constitutional error and affirm the judgment.
