Richard Cullen, United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.
OPINION
Before PHILLIPS, MURNAGHAN, and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Ronald Calvin Dillow appeals from the district court's orders refusing relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988), and denying Dillow's motion to correct his presentence investigation report.  We affirm on the reasoning of the district court in No. 92-6198 in which Dillow appeals the district court's denial of his motion to correct his presentence investigation report.  United States v. Dillow, Nos.  CR-84-176A, CA-91-1385-AM (E.D. Va.  Nov. 25, 1991).  We also affirm the denial of relief in No. 91-7316.


2
In January 1985, a jury convicted Ronald Calvin Dillow of violating federal law in connection with a conspiracy to manufacture and distribute PCP and PCP-y and manufacture cocaine.  Dillow's sentence for five of the counts on which he was convicted included concurrent three year special parole terms, imposed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(A) (1982).  This Court affirmed his conviction.  United States v. Ables, Nos. 85-5062/5073 (4th Cir.  Sept. 15, 1986) (unpublished).


3
In No. 91-7316, Dillow appeals the district court's denial of relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.  He sought an order vacating his special parole terms, arguing that the special parole terms were invalid because the provision in § 841(b)(1)(A) authorizing special parole terms was not in effect at the time he committed his crimes.


4
The conduct for which Dillow was convicted occurred between December 1981 and September 1984.  Throughout this period, 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(A) imposed a mandatory three year special parole term for first time convictions under 21 U.S.C.s 841(a) involving a schedule I or II controlled substance.*  Although 21 U.S.C. § 841(b) was amended in 1984 and 1986, these amendments all took effect after September 1984.   See Gozlon-Peretz v. United States, 59 U.S.L.W. 4107 (U.S. 1991);   United States v. Hessen, 911 F.2d 651 (11th Cir. 1990).  Therefore, they do not affect Dillow's sentence.  See Gozlon-Peretz, 59 U.S.L.W. 4109 (statute in effect at time of commission of crimes governs).


5
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


*
 During the period Dillow was engaged in the criminal activity for which he was convicted, cocaine and PCP were Schedule II drugs.  21 C.F.R. § 1308.12 (1984);  21 C.F.R. § 1308.12 (1983);  21 C.F.R. § 1308.12 (1982);  21 C.F.R. § 1308.12 (1981)
