tant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Larry Eugene Reed appeals 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 and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.   See United States v. Reed, No. CR-96-22 (E.D. Va. filed

July 9, 2001; entered July 10, 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
