See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

       Wayne Keith Barnes 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 opin-

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

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.     United States v. Barnes, Nos. CR-97-337; CA-

00-1488-4-22 (D.S.C. Aug. 31, 2001).         We dispense with oral argu-

ment   because   the   facts   and   legal   contentions   are   adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.




                                                                  DISMISSED
