PER CURIAM:

     James Vassell appeals the district court’s order denying his

motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999).    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.   See United States v. Vassell, Nos. CR-89-190; CA-

95-11-2 (N.D.W. Va. Jan. 7, 1999). 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
