trict of Virginia, at Roanoke. Samuel G. Wilson, Chief District
Judge. (CR-97-51, CA-00-801-7)

Ronald Lee Jones, Appellant Pro Se. Joseph William Hooge Mott,
Assistant United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Ronald Lee Jones appeals 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 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. Jones, Nos. CR-97-51; CA-00-801-7

(W.D. Va. May 15, 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
