Assistant United States Attorney, Florence, South Carolina, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Ronald Floyd Jackson appeals from the district court’s order

declining to recuse itself from consideration of Jackson’s other-

wise closed 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001) motion, and deny-

ing Jackson’s successive motion for relief.   We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss on the reasoning of the district court.   United States v.

Jackson, Nos. CR-90-254; CA-98-2129-4-12 (D.S.C. July 5, 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
