Devon Clarke, Appellant Pro Se. Theodore Ridley Carron, UNITED
STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Devon Clarke appeals from the district court’s orders denying

his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999) and

motion to reconsider. We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinions and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we

deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the

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

CR-88-126; CA-96-1020-2 (E.D. Va. May 21 & June 30, 1999).   We also

deny Clarke’s motion to expedite as moot.   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
