Kelvin Long, Appellant Pro Se.    Alfred William Walker Bethea,
Assistant United States Attorney, Florence, South Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Kelvin Long seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying

his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001).    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. Long, Nos. CR-97-657; CA-01-1960-4-22

(D.S.C. Aug. 31, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         DISMISSED
