John F. Parrish, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Michael Lee Keller, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, West Virginia, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     John F. Parrish, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion for relief under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994

and Supp. 1998).   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate

judge and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.      See United States v. Parrish,

Nos. CR-96-124; CA-98-298-2 (S.D.W. Va. Aug. 26, 1998).     We dis-

pense 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
