OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenville, South Carolina,
for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     James Leroy Young 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. See United States v. Young, Nos. CR-98-43; CA-

00-558-7 (D.S.C. Mar. 23, 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
