Per Curiam. Pro se prisoner Domonic Santini appeals a __________ ___ __
district court order that summarily denied his motion for
relief from his sentence under 28 U.S.C. 2255. We have
thoroughly reviewed the record and the parties' briefs on
appeal and conclude that the motion was properly dismissed
for the reasons stated in the district court's order. We add
that we find Santini's claims for sentencing relief to be
patently meritless. Accordingly, the judgment of the
district court is affirmed. See Barrett v. United States, ________ ___ _______ _____________
965 F.2d 1184, 1195 (1st Cir. 1992)(summary dismissal is
proper where 2255 claims are inadequate on their face).
