We agree  with the  reasoning of  the                      __________            district court and affirm the dismissal of appellant's   2255            petition  basically for  the reasons  stated by  the district            court  in  its  March   18,  1996  opinion.    We   deny  the            government's motion to strike  portions of appellant's  reply            brief because  considering the  allegedly new  material would            not change our decision.                      Affirmed.
