PER CURIAM:

     Brinston Wilson seeks to appeal the district court's order de-

nying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp.

1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. United States v. Wilson, Nos. CR-92-328; CA-96-2184-7-
20 (D.S.C. Mar. 20, 1997). In light of our disposition of this

case, Wilson's motion for a default judgment is denied. 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
