PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his

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

U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997)). We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommenda-

tion of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accord-
ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United
States v. Salami, Nos. CR-90-252-MJG; CA-94-552-MJG (D. Md. Dec.

17, 1996). See Lindh v. Murphy, 

___, 

 (U.S.

June 23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). 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 deci-
sional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
