No. 93-7238.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted April 26, 1994.
Decided May 25, 1994.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. J. Calvitt Clarke, Jr., Senior District Judge. (CR-91-25)

Gerald Wayne Sturgill, appellant pro se.

Harvey Lee Bryant, III, Asst. U.S. Atty., Norfolk, VA, for appellee.

E.D.Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before PHILLIPS, HAMILTON, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 (1988) motion. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Sturgill, No. CR-91-25 (E.D. Va. Nov. 5, 1993). Because there are no complex or substantial issues presented in this appeal, we deny Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
