PER CURIAM.


    Michael W. Blodgett brought a 28 U.S.C. § 2255
motion, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel, trial
and sentencing errors, and a violation of double
jeopardy.   After careful review of the record and the
parties& submissions, we agree with the district court1
that Blodgett did not show that his counsel was

       1
      The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District of
Minnesota.
ineffective and that




                       -2-
Blodgett either had procedurally defaulted or was barred
from raising his other claims.     We conclude that the
issues do not warrant further discussion, and we affirm
the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
