See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Maxine Edwards seeks to appeal the district court’s order de-

nying her motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000).

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 the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court.   United States v. Edwards, No. CR-96-363 (E.D. Va.

Mar. 10, 2000).   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
