                 Per Curiam.   Petitioner Cesar  B. Resurreccion  appeals
                 __________

            the dismissal  by the United  States District  Court for  the

            District  of  Massachusetts of  his  motion,  pursuant to  28

            U.S.C.    2255, to vacate, set aside or correct his sentence.

            We have  reviewed the  record in this  case, as  well as  the

            parties' briefs.   Petitioner has failed  to demonstrate that

            the  failure by  his counsel  to raise  any issue  below "was

            sufficiently  prejudicial  to  undermine  confidence  in  the

            outcome of the trial."   Singleton v. United States,  26 F.3d
                                     _________    _____________

            233, 238 (1st Cir. 1994).  Therefore, his petition for relief

            was properly denied.  

                 Affirmed.
