Before BEAM, LOKEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.


     Juan Hernandez Flores appeals the district court's1 order
denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Having reviewed the record
and the parties' briefs, we conclude that no error of law appears,
and that the district court did not abuse its discretion in not
holding an evidentiary hearing, see Engelen v. United States, 68
F.3d 238, 240 (8th Cir. 1995).    We decline to address Flores's
other arguments raised for the first time on appeal. See United
States v. Dixon, 51 F.3d 1376, 1383 (8th Cir. 1995). Accordingly,
we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

District Court for the District of South Dakota.
