                      Per Curiam.  We affirm the  denial of appellant's  
                      __________

            2255 petition for the reasons stated by the district court in

            its  November  23,  1993  order.   The  questions  concerning

            Guillermo  and Munoz,  to  which appellant  responded in  the

            negative,  were  not  evidence  and  had  no  effect  on  the

            sentence.



                      Affirmed.
