PER CURIAM:

     William   Kenneth   Wheedleton   seeks   to   appeal   the   district

court’s order denying his motion filed under 18 U.S.C.A. § 3582

(West 1985 & Supp. 1999) and construed as a 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255

(West Supp. 1999) motion.   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict 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 United States v. Wheedle-

ton, Nos. CR-89-347; CA-98-3398-5-6 (D.S.C. May 20, 1999).              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
