United States Court of Appeals,


Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: March 29, 1993
Decided: April 23, 1993

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Fox, Chief District Judge. (CA-92603)
Henry D. Jones, Appellant Pro Se.
E.D.N.C.
AFFIRMED.
Before LUTTIG, Circuit Judge, and BUTZNER and CHAPMAN, Senior
Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

OPINION
1

Henry D. Jones appeals from the district court's order refusing relief under 28
U.S.C. 2255 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion
discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm substantially

on the reasoning of the district court.* United States v. Jones, No. CA-92-603
(E.D.N.C. Nov. 20, 1992). 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

To the extent that Jones raised an ineffective assistance of counsel claim based
on the failure of counsel to advise him of the alleged grand jury infirmity, the
claim is without merit. Tollett v. Henderson, 411 U.S. 258, 267 (1973)
