See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Warren Stewart seeks to appeal the district court’s order

dismissing his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.

2000) as time-barred. We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate

judge and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.   See United States v. Stewart, Nos. CR-91-

89; CA-98-82 (N.D.W. Va. May 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
