PER CURIAM:

     Ronald Lee Wilson seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying as untimely 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 cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.   United States v. Wilson, Nos. CR-97-866;

CA-00-3001-4-22 (D.S.C. Jan. 25, 2001).     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
