Appellee.

PER CURIAM:

     Calvin Merle Muncy, Jr., 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.   United States v. Muncy, Nos. CR-97-81; CA-00-

3-7-BR (E.D.N.C. June 23, 2000).       We deny Muncy’s motion for

appointment of counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          DISMISSED
