PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court’s orders 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 certificate of ap-

pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. United States v. Horton, Nos. CR-89-180-A; CA-93-439-AM

(E.D. Va. Jan. 31, 1995; Nov. 25, 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
