PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997).
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. United States v. Perkins, Nos. CR-93-194;
CA-95-1124 (S.D.W. Va. Dec. 9, 1996). See Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S.
___, 65 U.S.L.W. 4557 (U.S. June 23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). We deny
Appellant's motion for a writ of mandamus. 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
