Per Curiam. The judgment is affirmed substantially for __________

the reasons recited by the magistrate-judge in his report and

recommendation dated June 9, 1995, subsequently approved by

the district court. We note that a number of claims advanced

by petitioner in this court were not included in his 28

U.S.C. 2255 petition. Some of these were raised for the

first time in his objections to the magistrate-judge's

report; others have been proffered for the first time only on

appeal. As a result, none of these contentions is properly

before us. See, e.g., Paterson-Leitch Co. v. Massachusetts ___ ____ ____________________ _____________

Munic. Wholesale Elec. Co., 840 F.2d 985, 990-91 (1st Cir. ___________________________

1988). Each proves to be without merit in any event.

Affirmed. See Loc. R. 27.1. ____________________________
