Jock DeCarlos Jones, Appellant Pro Se. William Warren Hamel, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
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. 1997).

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. Jones, Nos. CR-92-424-JFM; CA-97-87-JFM (D.
Md. Jan. 21, 1997). Additionally, we dismiss the § 2255 motion to

vacate sentence that the Appellant filed in this court. We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
quately presented in the materials before the court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
