PER CURIAM:

     Raphael Mendez appeals the district court order denying his

motion   to    dismiss    for    lack   of    jurisdiction   and   revoking      his

conditional     release    and    remanding     him   to   the   custody    of   the

Attorney General.        We have reviewed the record and find no error.

Accordingly, we affirm.         We also deny the motion for an appeal bond

and a change of venue.          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
