UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                 Plaintiff - Appellee,

Submitted:   August 23, 2001                 Decided:   August 30, 2001

Cassel Dixon, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Jack Hidgon, Jr., OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Cassel Dixon appeals 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 opinion and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.   See United States v. Dixon, Nos. CR-97-7-V; CA-98-551-3

(W.D.N.C. filed Mar. 30, 2001; entered Apr. 2, 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
