PER CURIAM:

     Raymond Edward James appeals the district court’s order deny-

ing his Fed. R. Crim. P. 35(a) motion.    Our review of the record

discloses this appeal is meritless.    We simply do not agree with

James’ argument that his sentence of life imprisonment, imposed in

1985 upon his conviction for violating 18 U.S.C.A. § 2113(e) (West

2000), is illegal.   Accordingly, we affirm.   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
