                       Appeal from the United States District Court
                           For the Northern District of Texas
                                    (4:92-CR-185-E)

                                     October 29, 1996
Before POLITZ, Chief Judge, JOLLY and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

       Terry Martin Chambers appeals his convictions for bank robbery and using

and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence. Chambers robbed a second bank

after pleading guilty to and while awaiting sentence on a prior bank robbery.



   *
     Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.
Chambers contends that the district court should have allowed the withdrawal of

his guilty pleas, claiming that they were coerced and because the government could

not prove the presence of a gun during the robbery. Chambers also contends that

the district court abused its discretion in denying his recusal motion, asserting that

the district court showed prejudice by summarily denying his motion, imputing

perjury to him, and dismissing his claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.

Chambers further claims that his offense level should have been reduced for his

minor role in the offenses and for acceptance of responsibility. Finally, Chambers

contends that the government failed to prove that the banks’ deposits were insured

by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, a requirement for establishing

federal jurisdiction.

       The record clearly reflects that: (1) the guilty pleas were knowingly and

voluntarily entered; (2) withdrawal was not warranted; (3) Chambers did not

explain his delay in moving to withdraw the pleas; (4) Chambers did not assert his

innocence; and (5) the performance of Chambers’ counsel did not justify

withdrawal of the pleas.1 There is nothing in the record to occasion a reasonable

person to harbor any doubt regarding the district court’s impartiality. The district

court did not abuse its discretion in denying Chambers’ motion for recusal. 2

       The record contains no support for either the contention that Chambers had

a minor role in the offense or that he accepted responsibility. The district court did

not err in denying these reductions in Chambers’ offense level. 3

       Chambers stipulated that the banks were insured by the FDIC; no more proof

was required to establish federal jurisdiction.4

       No issue raised on appeal has merit and the judgments appealed are

AFFIRMED.
