PER CURIAM:

     Ronald Sherrill Wilkerson 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. Wilkerson, Nos. CR-94-

58-H; CA-98-803-5-H (E.D.N.C. May 11, 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
