PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Surgit Singh Kooner appeals from the district court's order refusing relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988).  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.*  Accordingly, we deny Kooner's motion for appointment of counsel and affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  United States v. Kooner, Nos.  CR-86-364-R;  CA-92-844-R (D. Md. Mar. 31, 1992).  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


*
 To the extent that Kooner's motion concerns the applicability of parole guidelines as opposed to the legality of his conviction and sentence, it is not cognizable under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, and must be brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1988) in the jurisdiction of his custodian following the exhaustion of administrative remedies under 28 C.F.R. § 2.19(c) (1991).   See Chatman-Bey v. Thornburgh, 864 F.2d 804, 808-10 (D.C. Cir. 1988) (en banc);   United States v. Snow, 748 F.2d 928, 933-34 (4th Cir. 1984);  United States v. Legrano, 639 F.2d 17, 18 (4th Cir. 1981)
