          Per Curiam.   After carefully reviewing  the record                                

and the parties' briefs, we  summarily affirm the judgment of

the district court on the basis of United States v. Estrella,

As  for the  claim  of  ineffective  assistance  of  counsel,

petitioner  has waived  it by  not  presenting it  in his  28

U.S.C.   2255 motion.  See Dziurgot v. Luther, 897 F.2d 1222,

          Affirmed.  See Local Rule 27.1.
