NATHANIEL JOHN LITTLE,

                                             Plaintiff - Appellant,

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Newport News. Rebecca B. Smith, District
Judge. (CR-97-41, CA-01-84)


Submitted:   July 25, 2002                 Decided:   August 1, 2002


Before WILKINS, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Nathaniel John Little, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Nathaniel John Little seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

2002). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion

and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate

of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court. See Little v. United States, Nos. CR-97-41; CA-01-

84 (E.D. Va. filed Jan. 30, 2002 & entered Jan. 31, 2002).      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
