OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Chuck Allen Smoot appeals from the district court's order refusing relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses that this appeal is without merit.* Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Smoot, Nos. CA-90-346-2, CR-88-158-2-2 (S.D.W. Va. Nov. 20, 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.
AFFIRMED.
We have reviewed the merits of Smoot's petition since the record reflects that he was not advised of his right to appeal his sentence. Likewise the district court reviewed the merits of Smoot's claim alternatively. We note that Smoot's renewed motion to expedite his appeal is now moot
