UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                Plaintiff - Appellee,

trict of North Carolina, at Statesville. Graham C. Mullen, Chief
District Judge. (CR-91-54-MU, CA-97-71-5-4-MU)


Submitted:   October 18, 2001              Decided:   October 26, 2001


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

Claude V. Cooley, Appellant Pro Se. Kenneth Davis Bell, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Claude V. Cooley appeals 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. Cooley, Nos. CR-91-54-MU; CA-97-71-5-

4-MU (W.D.N.C. May 29, 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
