Peter Paul, Appellant Pro Se.    David John Novak, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Peter Paul seeks to appeal the district court’s order dis-

missing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001)

motion.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny Paul’s

motions for a certificate of appealability and to proceed in forma

pauperis and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. United States v. Paul, Nos. CR-95-104; CA-01-505-3 (E.D. Va.

Aug. 6, 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
