PER CURIAM:

     Theodore   Roosevelt   Johnson   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 opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate

judge 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. Johnson, Nos. CR-92-50;

CA-98-252-1; CA-97-1097-1 (M.D.N.C. Mar. 29, 1999).          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
