PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying

his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998).

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

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

pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. United States v. Cook, Nos. CR-92-94; CA-96-787-AM (E.D. Va.

Mar. 10, 1997). Appellant’s motion to produce transcripts at the

Government’s expense is denied, as is his motion to stay this ap-

peal pending the production of the transcripts. We deny Appellant’s

motion for the appointment of counsel and 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
