See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Luis Carbarcas appeals the district’s court order denying his

Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 35(a) motion.    We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Rule 35(a) is not available to correct errors at trial

prior to the imposition of sentence.     Hill v. United States, 368

U.S. 424, 430 (1962).    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

the district court.     See United States v. Carbarcas-A, No. CR-85-

62-P (W.D.N.C. May 8, 2000).       We dispense 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.
