    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff-Appellee,
    versus
    JERRY THOMAS MAXWELL,
    Defendant-Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Western District of Texas
    USDC No. W-95-CA-145
    - - - - - - - - - -
    November 6, 1996
    Before JONES, DeMOSS and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Jerry Thomas Maxwell appeals from the district court’s
    denial of his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.   The district court
    did not commit reversible error in rejecting Maxwell’s due
    process argument, which raises a factual issue concerning the
    amount of cocaine attributable to him.   This issue was decided
    against him by this court in United States v. Thomas, 
    12 F.3d 1350
    (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 
    114 S. Ct. 1861
    (1994).    See
    *
    Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
    that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
    except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
    47.5.4.
    No. 95-50859

    United States v. Kalish, 
    780 F.2d 506
    , 508 (5th Cir.), cert.
    denied, 
    476 U.S. 1118
    (1986).   Nor did the district court err in
    rejecting Maxwell’s contention that his counsel was ineffective
    for failing to require the district court to resolve disputed
    factual issues at the sentencing hearing.   See Spriggs v.
    Collins, 
    993 F.2d 85
    , 88 (5th Cir. 1993).
    AFFIRMED.
