 PER CURIAM:

     In No. 99-6942, Robert Lee Bonniwell 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 dis-

trict court’s opinion 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. Bonni-

well, Nos. CR-96-40; CA-97-652 (E.D. Va. May 12, 1999).

     In No. 99-7402, Bonniwell appeals the district court’s order

denying his request for a certificate of appealability.       As we

conclude that Bonniwell has not made a substantial showing of the

denial of a federal right, we affirm the district court’s ruling.

See 28 U.S.C.A. § 2253(c)(2) (West Supp. 1999).    We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                          No. 99-6942 - DISMISSED

                                          No. 99-7402 - AFFIRMED
