Assistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Mark Anthony Walters 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 cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.   See United States v. Walters, Nos. CR-95-

193; CA-97-1346-1 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 6, 1998). In light of this dispo-

sition, we deny Walters’ motion for bail pending appeal.    We dis-

pense 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
