Roy Daniel Weiss, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Richard Ascik, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Asheville, North Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997).

We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

appealability, deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismiss
the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.
Weiss, Nos. CR-93-16; CR-93-24; CR-93-25; CA-96-269-1-V (W.D.N.C

Feb. 12, 1997). 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
