PER CURIAM:

     Quinton Leon Sutton seeks to appeal the district court’s order

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

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no

reversible error.     Accordingly, we deny Sutton’s motion for a

certificate   of   appealability   and   dismiss   the   appeal   on   the

reasoning of the district court. United States v. Sutton, Nos. CR-

98-355; CA-01-369-1 (M.D.N.C. Nov. 20, 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
