Byron Jones, Appellant Pro Se. Robert James Conrad, Jr., Assistant
United States Attorney, Robert Jack Higdon, Jr., OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988) motion. 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.
Jones, Nos. CR-92-153-P; CA-95-109-3-P (W.D.N.C. June 14, 1995). We

deny Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel and 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
