PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his

motion pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742 (a)(1)(1994), to abolish the

supervised release portion of his sentence. We have reviewed the

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

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. United States v. Brown, No. CR-94-8 (N.D.W. Va. July 9,
1997). 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
