Bryant DuBose, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Jack Higdon, Jr., OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant 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 certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. United States v. DuBose, Nos. CR-94-17; CA-97-207-P
(W.D.N.C. Oct. 23, 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 deci-
sional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
