See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Donte Javon Pitt seeks to appeal the district court’s order

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

2001).     We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny Pitt’s

motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.    See United States v. Pitt,

Nos. CR-96-36-AW; CA-00-1566-AW (D. Md. filed Aug. 31, 2001 &

entered Sept. 4, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         DISMISSED
