See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994) (current version at
28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997)). We have reviewed the
record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommenda-
tion of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accord-
ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United
States v. Hammonds, Nos. CR-92-172-D, CA-95-768-1 (M.D.N.C.
July 11, 1997). See Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S. ___, 1997 WL 338568(U.S. June 23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). 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 deci-
sional process.
AFFIRMED
