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 accepting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Ap-

pellant's motion to convert this appeal to a formal briefing track
and affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.
Brawley, No. CR-90-394; CA-94-509-3-6-AK (D.S.C. Apr. 20, 1995). 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
