PER CURIAM:

     Franklyn Earl Bannerman seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

& 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. Bannerman,

No. CR-90-105-N; CA-97-287-2 (E.D. Va. Feb. 16, 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
