United States Court of Appeals,
First Circuit.
Oct. 17, 1994
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico [Hon. Carmen C. Cerezo, U.S. District Judge ]
James Wiley Nichols on brief pro se.

D. Puerto Rico
AFFIRMED.
Before Selya, Cyr and Boudin, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam.
Petitioner, James Wiley Nichols, appeals from the denial of his second petition under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 to set aside, vacate or correct his sentence. For the reasons stated by the district court, we affirm its decision dismissing the petition as an abuse of the writ and amending petitioner's sentence to substitute the term of special parole imposed with a term of supervised release of identical length.
Affirmed.
