PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his
motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994) (current version at 28
U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997)). We have reviewed the
record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court.* United States v. Booker, No. CR-93-81 (E.D. Va. Oct. 14,
1997). See Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S. ___, 1997 WL 338568 (U.S. June
23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
*
To the extent Appellant also appeals the district court's
order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion, we likewise affirm
that order. See Temkin v. Frederick County Comm’r , 945 F.2d 716,
723 (4th Cir. 1991).
