UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                Plaintiff - Appellee,

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern
District of West Virginia, at Charleston. John T. Copenhaver, Jr.,
District Judge. (CR-90-41, CA-00-948-2)

Before MOTZ and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior

Yul Carter, Appellant Pro Se. John Patrick Rowley, III, HOLLAND &
KNIGHT, L.L.P., McLean, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Yul Carter 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 and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.     See United States v. Carter, Nos. CR-90-41; CA-00-948-2

(S.D.W. Va. Apr. 4, 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
