PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from 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 and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we grant Appellant's motion to file a pro se
supplemental brief, deny his motion for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis, and affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Wronka
v. United States, Nos. CR-92-288-MU; CA-96-71-MU (W.D.N.C. June 25,

1996). See Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S. ___, 1997 WL 338568 (U.S. June
23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). We deny Appellant's motion for oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
