Before EMILIO M. GARZA, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Billy Gene Wolcott, a federal prisoner, appeals the district
court’s denial of his petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. He
argues that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to
advise him correctly regarding his decision not to plead guilty.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we AFFIRM for the
reasons stated by the magistrate judge and adopted by the
district court. United States v. Wolcott, No. 3:90-CR-113-R
