See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

       Patricia Derbaum seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying her 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. Derbaum,

Nos.   CR-97-453;   CA-00-1372-2-11     (D.S.C.    Nov.    30,   2001).   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
