                       For the Fifth Circuit



                           No. 97-20045

                     UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                  Plaintiff-Appellee,


                              VERSUS


                        IRENE WILSON GLAZE,
                    also known as Irene Flakes,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant.




           Appeal from the United States District Court
                For the Southern District of Texas
                        USDC No. H-92-CR-59


                          August 21, 1997
Before WISDOM, DUHÉ, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

      Irene Wilson Glaze, federal prisoner #59783-079, appeals the

district court’s denial of her motion to modify her sentence under

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) and other statutes.     Glaze also appeals the

denial of her motions for return of forfeited property, discovery,

an evidentiary hearing, and appointment of counsel.          We have

  *
   Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this
opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under
the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
carefully reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties.                 We

AFFIRM.

     None of the authorities cited by Glaze in the district court

authorized that court to grant the relief she sought.            The district

court did not err by denying relief without ordering discovery,

appointing counsel, or holding an evidentiary hearing.              Glaze has

abandoned her challenge to the denial of her motion for return of

forfeited   property   by   failing       to   address   that   issue   in   her

appellate brief.    See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 223-24 (5th

Cir. 1993).      Glaze’s motions in this court for appointment of

appellate counsel and a default judgment are DENIED.

     Glaze has filed documents which indicate that she also wishes

to appeal the district court’s denial of relief under 28 U.S.C. §

2255; however, that appeal is not before this court.              See Fed. R.

App. P. 4(a).

     AFFIRMED.
