III, Mark Anthony Exley, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY,
Norfolk, Virginia, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 orders denying his
second 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988) motion and denying leave to amend

his original § 2255 complaint. We have reviewed the record and the

district court's opinions and find no reversible error. According-

ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States

v. McSheffrey, Nos. CR-92-76-N; CA-95-594-2 (E.D. Va. July 20,

1995; Oct. 5, 1995). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
