Afnan Jerome Parker, Appellant Pro Se. Stephen Urban Baer, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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




PER CURIAM:

     In appeal No. 96-6497, Appellant appeals from the district

court's order denying his motion filed pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P.
35. In appeal No. 96-7162, Appellant appeals from the district

court's orders denying his motions for a downward departure and to

modify his sentence. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.
Parker, Nos. CR-91-15-C; CR-91-15 (W.D. Va. Feb. 23, and June 26,

1996). 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.




                                                           AFFIRMED
