See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Kenneth Junior Smith seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

Supp. 2001).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinions denying relief 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. Smith, Nos.

CR-98-1169; CA-01-249 (D.S.C. Mar. 14, 2001, and filed May 10, 2001

& entered May 11, 2001).   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
