Truriel B. Nathan, Appellant Pro Se. S. David Schiller, Shannon
Leigh Taylor, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond,
Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Truriel B. Nathan seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West

Supp. 2002).   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 district court. United States v. Nathan, Nos. CR-

98-116; CA-01-305 (E.D. Va. Apr. 2, 2002).          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
