Robert Lee Bruce, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Donald Ray Wolthuis,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant Robert Lee Bruce, Jr., seeks to appeal the district

court’s orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255

(West 1994 & Supp. 1998) and his motion for reconsideration.     We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s memorandum opin-

ion and orders and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny

a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court.   See United States v. Bruce, Nos. CR-

94-61; CA-98-39-R (W.D. Va. Aug. 27 & Sept. 16, 1998).   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
