PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his Fed.

R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion seeking relief from the court's judgment

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994) (current

version at 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997)). We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no
abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. United States v. Lambert, Nos. CR-91-21; CA-94-924-
R (W.D. Va. June 11, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
