UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                               Plaintiff - Appellee,

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

(CR-95-488, CA-00-3199-3-19)


Submitted:   December 20, 2001            Decided:   January 2, 2002


Before LUTTIG, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Gerald Noble, Appellant Pro Se. Sean Kittrell, OFFICE OF THE UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Gerald Noble seeks to appeal the district court’s order grant-

ing the Government’s motion for summary judgment 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 appeal-

ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. See United States v. Noble, Nos. CR-95-488; CA-00-3199-3-19

(D.S.C. June 18, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                           DISMISSED
