trict of North Carolina, at Durham. Frank W. Bullock, Jr., Chief
District Judge. (CR-94-66, CA-97-1296)

Before MURNAGHAN, HAMILTON, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Michael Hamilton, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Michael Hamilton seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 &

Supp. 1998).   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 a certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court.   See United States v. Hamilton, Nos. CR-94-66; CA-97-

1296 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 17, 1998).       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
