OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina,
for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Kenneth Eugene McDaniel appeals from the district court’s

order denying his motion to amend his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West

Supp. 2001) motion.   Our review of the record discloses no revers-

ible error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability

and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.

United States v. McDaniel, Nos. CR-94-111; CA-00-90-3-MU (W.D.N.C.

filed Mar. 21, 2001; entered Mar. 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
