Submitted:   January 15, 1998             Decided:   January 28, 1998


Before MURNAGHAN and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior
Circuit Judge.

Gordon Dean Kromberg, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 appeals from the district court's order denying his

28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997) motion. We have re-

viewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealabil-

ity and dismiss on the reasoning of the district court. United
States v. Burks, Nos. CR-93-460-A; CA-97-613-AM (E.D. Va. Aug. 28,

1997). 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
