           Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Western District of Texas
                       USDC No. SA-94-CV-8825

                          September 3, 1996
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, STEWART and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Rene Garza (#568511) moves for leave to appeal in forma

pauperis (IFP), arguing that the district court improperly denied

his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate his sentence.    Garza has

identified no error in the denial.   See United States v. Garza,

SA-994-CV-8825 (W.D. Tex. May 31, 1995).    His appeal fails to

present a nonfrivolous issue; the motion for IFP is DENIED.
