AFFIRMED.
Before DONALD RUSSELL and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges, and HARRISON L. WINTER,* Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Joseph Scutella, Jr., 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.  United States v. Scutella, CR-85-76-K;  CA-89-94-E-K (N.D.W.Va. July 27, 1989).  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.

AFFIRMED

*
 Judge Winter participated in the consideration of this case but died prior to the time the decision was filed.  The decision is filed by a quorum of the panel.  28 U.S.C. Sec. 46(d)

**
 We deny Scutella's motion to expand the record on appeal.  The submitted material was not considered by the district court and we will not consider it for the first time on appeal
