Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Alfred Titus Shuler seeks to appeal the district court’s order

granting summary judgment in favor of the Government on his motion

filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000).   We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.      See

United States v. Shuler, Nos. CR-96-13-BR; CA-99-106-7-BR (E.D.N.C.

Nov. 30, 1999).   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
