States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

              Dion Thomas appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).               We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.             Accordingly, we

affirm   on    the   reasoning   of   the     district   court.   See   United

States v. Thomas, No. CA-04-864-F (E.D.N.C. Dec. 27, 2004).                 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.



                                                                    AFFIRMED
