PER CURIAM:

     Thomas Jefferson Price, III, seeks to appeal the district

court’s order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255

(West Supp. 2001).        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

certificate    of    appealability     and    dismiss    the   appeal   on   the

reasoning of the district court.           United States v. Price, Nos. CR-

98-104; CA-01-61-1 (M.D.N.C. May 2, 2002).              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
