Bobby Lynn Cooper, Appellant Pro Se. Julie C. Dudley, Assistant
United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Bobby Lynn Cooper seeks to appeal the district court’s denial

of his motion to vacate a prior order denying relief on his motion

filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999).   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. Cooper, Nos. CR-90-49-B; CA-96-82-7-R/B (W.D. Va.

Jan. 21, 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
