PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying his

28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988) motion and denying his motion for recon-

sideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion and find no abuse of discretion and no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
United States v. Shaechter, Nos. CR-93-188-H; CR-93-301-H; CA-94-
3536-H (D. Md. June 14, 1995; June 30, 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
