AFFIRMED.
Before SPROUSE, CHAPMAN and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Francis Ian Tonner appeals from the district court's order refusing relief under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255.  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.1   United States v. Tonner, CR-89-15-N (E.D.Va. Aug. 27, 1990).  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.

2
AFFIRMED.

1
 Tonner is entitled to no relief on his claim that his rights pursuant to the Interstate Agreement on Detainers were violated.  The claim is not cognizable in this collateral proceeding.    See Bush v. Muncy, 659 F.2d 402 (4th Cir.1981), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 910 (1982).  In addition, counsel was not ineffective for failing to raise the issue because it is meritless.  See 18 U.S.C.App. 2 Sec. 9(2) (West Supp.1990)
