Mario Castrillon, Appellant Pro Se. Julie C. Dudley, Assistant
United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Mario Castrillon seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 &

Supp. 1998).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny Cas-

trillon’s motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court.   See United States

v. Castrillon, Nos. CR-89-159-B; CA-97-81-R (W.D. Va. June 26 and

Sept. 9, 1998).   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
