Before NIEMEYER and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior

Joseph Gady, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Hayden Bickerton, Assistant
United States Attorney, Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Joseph Gady seeks to appeal the district court’s judgment

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

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

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. Gady, Nos. CR-96-985; CA-00-

641-9-08 (D.S.C. Sept. 28, 2001).    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
