See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Richard Lee Evans seeks to appeal 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 opin-

ion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.   United States v. Evans, Nos. CR-98-284-PJM;

CA-00-2379-PJM (D. Md., filed Oct. 31, 2001; entered Nov. 1, 2001).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          DISMISSED
