UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                               Plaintiff - Appellee,

(CR-99-567-S, CA-01-4256-S)

Robert Allen Taylor, Appellant Pro Se. Joseph Lee Evans, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Robert Allen Taylor seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.

2001). 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. United States v. Taylor, Nos. CR-99-567-S; CA-01-

4256-S (D. Md. filed Jan. 3, 2002 & entered Jan. 4, 2002).      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
