PER CURIAM:

     Jasper B. Mackey, 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 affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Mackey, Nos.

CR-96-135-MU; CA-00-162-V (W.D.N.C. June 14, 2000).    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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
