PER CURIAM:

     Carrol Scott Tribble seeks to appeal the district court's

order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994

& Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. United States v. Tribble, Nos. CR-95-834,
CA-97-1380-8-13 (D.S.C. July 15, 1997). 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
