MEMORANDUM**

Mark William Ames appeals the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 motion challenging his guilty plea conviction to bank robbery.  Ames contends that he pled guilty while he was incompetent to do so, and that his counsel was ineffective.  We review the district court's denial of a 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 petition de novo and findings of fact for clear error, United States v. Roberts, 5 F.3d 365, 368 (9th Cir.1993), and we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's order, filed on January 24, 1995.  See United States v. Palomba, 31 F.3d 1456, 1460-61 (9th Cir.1994);  United States v. Kramer, 781 F.2d 1380, 1383 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 819 (1986);  United States v. Bradshaw, 690 F.2d 704, 712 (9th Cir.1982), cert. denied, 463 U.S. 1210 (1983).
