(CR-98-43, CA-00-176-7)


Submitted:   November 9, 2000          Decided:     November 15, 2000


Before WILKINS, WILLIAMS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Frederick Carleton Tuck, Appellant Pro Se. Bruce A. Pagel, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlottesville, Virginia, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Frederick Carleton Tuck seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.

2000) and a subsequent motion for reconsideration filed under Fed.

R. Civ. P. 59(e).     We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny

a certificate of appealability, deny Tuck’s motion to expedite the

appeal as moot, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court. See United States v. Tuck, Nos. CR-98-43; CA-00-176-7

(W.D. Va. June 27 & July 13, 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.




                                                          DISMISSED
