AFFIRMED.
Before MURNAGHAN, SPROUSE and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Earl Ray Boyd appeals from the district court's order denying his motion to correct an illegal sentence.1   Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  United States v. Boyd, CR-76-303 (D.S.C. Mar. 28, 1990).  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.


2
AFFIRMED.



1
 Boyd filed his motion under Fed.R.Crim.P. 35(a) but failed to appeal within the 10-day period applicable to such motions.  We have treated his motion as brought under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 to preserve appellate jurisdiction.    See United States v. Santora, 711 F.2d 41 (5th Cir.1983)
