United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted Dec. 26, 1997.Filed Jan. 6, 1998.

Before McMILLIAN, BEAM, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.


1
Frank Christian Nichols, a federal inmate, appeals from the district court's1 denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 1651 motion to reduce his sentence.  After reviewing the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the district court properly denied relief because the motion is procedurally flawed and meritless.  Accordingly, we affirm.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
