PER CURIAM:

     Chris Adkins appeals the district court’s order denying his

motion to withdraw his guilty plea.    Adkins argues that the dis-

trict court abused its discretion in refusing to allow him to with-

draw his guilty plea and requests that the case be remanded to the

district court for a trial by jury.

     We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

and find no reversible error.   We conclude that the district court

did not abuse its discretion in denying Adkins’ motion to withdraw.

See Fed. R. Crim. P. 32(e); United States v. Moore, 

,

248 (4th Cir. 1991).

     Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.    We dis-

pense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
