OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Michael Shingler seeks to appeal the district court's order

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 &

Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. United States v. Shingler, No. CR-97-318
(E.D. Va. Mar. 11, 1998). 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
