Judge. (CR-95-155, CA-99-2376-9)

Jean Raymond, Appellant Pro Se. Mary Gordon Baker, Assistant United
States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Jean Raymond seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny-

ing 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 Raymond’s motion

for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court.      United States v. Raymond, Nos.

CR-95-155; CA-99-2376-9 (D.S.C. June 14, 2000).     We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                           DISMISSED
