PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying

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

1998).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ions and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss these appeals on the reasoning

of the district court.   United States v. Jordan, Nos. CR-88-391;

CR-89-117 (D.S.C. July 29, 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 deci-

sional process.



                                                          DISMISSED
