OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Clarksburg, West Virginia,
for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

   Rico Lamont Spurlock 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 opin-

ion and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we deny a certifi-

cate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.     See United States v. Spurlock, Nos. CR-95-29;

CA-99-22 (N.D.W. Va. Sept. 30, 1999).         We dispense with oral argu-

ment   because   the   facts   and   legal   contentions   are   adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.




                                                                  DISMISSED
