See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his Fed.

R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion for reconsideration of the court's previous

order denying him relief under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 &

Supp. 1997). 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. United States v. Phillips, Nos. CR-93-131;
CA-97-408-2 (E.D. Va. Nov. 18, 1997). 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
