JOHN FREDERICK PETERMAN,

Defendant-Appellant.

- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. C:94-CV-228 (C:91-CR-233) - - - - - - - - - - December 20, 1995 Before KING, SMITH and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

This is an appeal from the district court's order denying

appellant's motion under

. He argues that the

district court erred in dismissing his claims on the basis of

procedural default. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm for essentially the reasons given by the district court.

AFFIRMED.

* Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions that have no precedential value and merely decide particular cases on the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal profession." Pursuant to that Rule, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published.
