PER CURIAM:

     Donald Wade Sawyers appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.

1999).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.   See United States v. Sawyers, Nos. CR-95-

270; CA-98-208-1 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 29, 1998).   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
