See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Ameer Ali Shakoor seeks to appeal the district court’s order

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

1999).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

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

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.   See United States v. Shakoor, Nos. CR-93-98;

CA-98-99 (E.D. Va. Apr. 2, 1999).    Shakoor’s motion to proceed in

forma pauperis is denied.   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
