See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Jeffrey Roy Crosby seeks to appeal the district court’s order

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

2000).   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. Crosby, Nos. CR-96-361; CA-

99-1835-4 (D.S.C. Oct. 17, 2000).     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




     *
       We   have confined our review to those issues raised in Ap-
pellant’s    informal brief, 4th Cir. R. 34(b), and to the extent
Appellant   seeks to raise claims not first presented to the district
court, we   decline to review such claims.
