Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Courtney Floyd Gregory seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

2000).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.   United States v. Gregory, Nos. CR-96-22; CA-

99-136 (E.D. Va. Oct. 24, 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
