Alfred Caldwell, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Marie Everhart, Assistant
United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Alfred Caldwell seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 &

Supp. 1998).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we deny the

motion for appointment of counsel, deny a certificate of appeal-

ability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. See United States v. Caldwell, Nos. CR-92-113-N; CA-97-452-

2 (E.D. Va. June 30, 1998).   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
