Emma J. Allen, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Ann Colombell, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Emma J. Allen seeks to appeal the district court's order deny-

ing her motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999).

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

district court.   See United States v. Allen, Nos. CR-91-44; CA-97-

249 (E.D. Va. Nov. 1, 1999).    We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
