OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, West Virginia,
for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Walter Edward Williams 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 accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

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

pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. United States v. Williams, Nos. CR-95-58; CA-97-829 (S.D.W.

Va. Mar. 6, 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
