UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                              Plaintiff - Appellee,

          versus

Submitted:   September 23, 1997           Decided:   October 9, 1997

Gary A. Brown, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Harold Watson Gowdy, III,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenville, South Carolina,
for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997),

and order denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United
States v. Brown, Nos. CR-91-297; CA-96-2721-6-13 (D.S.C. Nov. 22,

1996; Dec. 24, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                         DISMISSED
