UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                  Plaintiff - Appellee,

(CR-95-51, CA-01-390-7)

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Damion Nelson, Appellant Pro Se. Nancy Spodick Healey, Assistant
United States Attorney, Charlottesville, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Damion Nelson appeals the district court’s order denying his

motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001).    We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error.     Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.     United States v. Nelson, Nos. CR-95-51; CA-01-390-7 (W.D.

Va. May 29, 2001).      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
