Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

        Henry L. Ivy, Jr., appeals the district court's order denying Ivy's motion to vacate
and correct his sentence, brought under former Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure
35(a). Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the
district court did not abuse its discretion in denying relief. We thus affirm. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
