Submitted:   June 19, 1997                 Decided:   June 30, 1997

United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's orders denying his

28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997) motion and motion for

reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinions and the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
appealability and dismiss on the reasoning of the district court.

United States v. Miller, Nos. CR-93-137; CA-95-844 (M.D.N.C. Oct.
15 & Dec. 23, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                         DISMISSED
