UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Harry T. Hanley, Appellant Pro Se. John Castle Parr, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s orders denying his

motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994) (current version at 28

U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998)) and denying his motion

for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate

judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. United States v. Hanley, Nos. CR-

91-66; CA-95-1052-1 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 14 & July 18, 1997). See Lindh

v. Murphy, 

___, 

 (U.S. June 23, 1997) (No.

96-6298). To the extent that Appellant raises the same claims as he

raised in a prior § 2255 motion, those claims are procedurally

defaulted. We dispense 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.
