for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988) motion. We have reviewed the record and the

district court's opinion and find no reversible error. See United
States v. Crittendon, 

, 330-31 (4th Cir. 1989). Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United

States v. Mason, Nos. CR-92-22; CA-95-1941-6-3 (D.S.C. July 27,

1995). 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.




                                                           AFFIRMED
