See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994) motion. We have reviewed the record and the

district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a

certificate of appealability and dismiss on the reasoning of the
district court. United States v. Craven, Nos. CR-91-229-R; CA-95-
69-4 (M.D.N.C. Mar. 8, 1996). We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
