UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
GEORGE ROE MATTHEWS,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Columbia. Joseph F. Anderson, Jr., District
Judge. (CR-91-382, CA-95-432-3-17)
Submitted: January 23, 1996 Decided: May 21, 1996
Before WILKINSON, Chief Judge, and HALL and WILLIAMS, Circuit
Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
George Roe Matthews, Appellant Pro Se. Mary Gordon Baker, Assis-
tant United States Attorney, Charleston, South Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his
28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988) motion. 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.
Matthews, Nos. CR-91-382; CA-95-432-3-17 (D.S.C. June 14, 1995). In
addition, we find sufficient evidence supports Matthews' 18 U.S.C.
§ 924(c) conviction under the "carry" prong and that, therefore,
Bailey v. United States, ___ U.S. ___, 64 U.S.L.W. 4039 (U.S. Dec.
6, 1995) (No. 94-7448), does not invalidate the conviction. 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
