PER CURIAM:

     Rahnaun Andre Wilkerson appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion to reduce his sentence under Fed. R. Crim. P.

35(b), based upon substantial assistance, and his motion filed

under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001).      We have reviewed the

parties’ briefs, the joint appendix, and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.       United States v. Wilkerson, No.

CR-99-385 (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 5, 2001 & entered Apr. 6, 2001).    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.




                                                              AFFIRMED
