UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

(CR-96-806, CA-01-2486-2-18)


Submitted:   April 18, 2002                 Decided:   April 30, 2002


Before MOTZ, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Sebastian Gomez, Appellant Pro Se. Marshall Prince, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Sebastian Gomez seeks to appeal the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to the Government and 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.      See

United States v. Gomez, Nos. CR-96-806; CA-01-2486-2-18 (D.S.C.

Jan. 25, 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
