OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlottesville, Virginia,
for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Charles Edward Dodson seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

2000).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny a certifi-

cate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.   See United States v. Dodson, Nos. CR-94-106;

CA-99-197-7 (W.D. Va. Feb. 18, 2000).        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.




                                                          DISMISSED
