PER CURIAM:

     James E. Carr seeks to appeal the district court’s orders de-

nying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999).

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court.   See United States v. Carr, No. CR-93-66-N (E.D. Va.

Sept. 24, July 10, 1998 and July 15, 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. We also deny Carr’s motions to appoint

counsel, to authorize preparation of a transcript at government

expense, and to amend his informal brief.




                                                         DISMISSED
