See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Charles W. McHan seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.

2000).   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. See United States v. McHan, Nos. CR-90-41; CA-

98-79-3-2-V (W.D.N.C. Jan. 26, 2001).   We deny the motion to amend

the record on appeal.   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
