PER CURIAM:

     Michael Aaron Little seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

2000).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.   See United States v. Little, Nos. CR-86-18-C;

CA-01-26-V (W.D.N.C. Jan. 26, 2001). Little’s motion to proceed in

forma pauperis is denied.   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          DISMISSED
