See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Joseph Ricky Dodd appeals the district court’s order denying

him a writ of error coram nobis under 28 U.S.C. § 1651 (1996).   We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

the district court. See United States v. Dodd, No. CR-96-153 (E.D.

Va. May 5, 2000).   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.




                                                           AFFIRMED
