Steve Silver, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Edward Skiver, Assistant
United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

his motions filed under FED. R. CRIM. P. 35(a), and 28 U.S.C.A. §
2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997). 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. Silver, Nos.

CR-95-110-BR; CA-97-209-5-BR (E.D.N.C. May 23, 1997). 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
