Charles Deangelo Comer, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Francis Joseph,
Assistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Charles Deangelo Comer seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.

2001).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, although we grant Comer’s

motion to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court. See United States v. Comer, Nos. CR-95-119;

CA-01-290-1 (M.D.N.C. July 23, 2001).      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
