PER CURIAM:

     The district court entered an order denying Johnson’s 28

U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West   Supp. 1999) motion on November 24, 1993.   On

January 14, 1999, Johnson moved for a “reinstatement of right to

appeal.”    The district court denied the motion, and Johnson timely

appealed.     We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Johnson,

No. CR-90-3331-A (E.D. Va. Jan. 21, 1999).    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.




                                                           AFFIRMED
