OPINION
PER CURIAM:
1Jorge Ortega-Benitez 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. Ortega-Benitez, Nos. CR-84-102-C-CR-P, CA-89-427-C-C-P (W.D.N.C. Mar. 4, 1991). 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.
2AFFIRMED.
*We note that the district court properly declined to resentence Ortega-Benitez under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines because his offenses occurred prior to the effective date of the guidelines. See United States v. Polk, 905 F.2d 54 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 59 U.S.L.W. 3391 (U.S.1990)
