Christopher Polycarp Tizhe, Appellant Pro Se.        Robert Reeves
Harding, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Christopher   Polycarp   Tizhe    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 opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny

a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court.       See United States v. Tizhe, Nos.

CR-96-177-CCB; CA-99-1790-CCB (D. Md. Apr. 28, 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
