Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Ricardo   Antonio   De   Los   Santos-Mora   seeks   to    appeal   the

district court’s order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A.

§ 2255 (West Supp. 2000).     We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error.            Accordingly,

we deny De Los Santos-Mora’s motions for a certificate of appeal-

ability and to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.         United States v. De Los

Santos-Mora, No. CR-96-49 (E.D. Va. Feb. 15, 2001).            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
