Timothy Antonio Jones, Appellant Pro Se. S. David Schiller, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Timothy Antonio Jones seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).            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

district court. United States v. Jones, Nos. CR-98-148; CA-01-18-3

(E.D. Va. Jan. 28, 2002).     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
