Reginald Jerome Stowe, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Jack Higdon, Jr.,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina,
for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Reginald Jerome Stowe appeals the district court’s orders

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001)

and denying his motion for reconsideration.   We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s orders and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.     See

United States v. Stowe, Nos. CR-96-46; CA-98-238-3-V (W.D.N.C.

filed May 30, 2001, entered June 21, 2001; filed July 9, 2001,

entered July 10, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         DISMISSED
