Ihedinachi I. Uzodinma, Appellant Pro Se. Jack I. Hanly, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant Ihedinachi I. Uzodinma seeks to appeal the district

court’s order denying his 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

Uzodinma’s motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss

the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.     See United

States v. Uzodinma, Nos. CR-96-61-A; CA-98-575-AM (E.D. Va. Mar.

12, 1999).    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
