Per Curiam. Upon careful review of the briefs and __________

record, we conclude that petitioner's 2255 motion was

properly dismissed without a hearing, essentially for the

reasons stated by the district court. We add only these

comments.

1. We will not consider petitioner's claim, raised for

the first time on appeal, that his attorney had a conflict of

interest. See United States v. Jackson, 3 F.3d 506, 511 (1st ___ _____________ _______

Cir. 1993).

2. The district court was not required to give further

consideration to the affidavit purporting to absolve

petitioner of all involvement in the crime. The district

court correctly followed this court's prior ruling on that

point. See United States v. Graciani Gonzales, 61 F.3d 70, ___ ______________ _________________

78 (1st Cir. 1995).

3. Petitioner's motion to correct the PSR is denied. ______

See Fed. R. App. P. 10(e) (record may be corrected to ___

accurately reflect the proceedings below).

Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1. ________ ___
