trict of Virginia, at Norfolk. John A. MacKenzie, Senior District
Judge. (CR-95-3)


Submitted:   September 25, 1997           Decided:   October 21, 1997

David Lewis Outlaw, Appellant Pro Se. Ronald Glen Reel, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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. 1997).

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. Outlaw, No. CR-95-3 (E.D. Va. June
18, 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 decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
