Luis Aldama Sanchez, Appellant Pro Se. Harry Thomas Church, As-
sistant United States Attorney, Charlotte, North Carolina, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 orders denying

his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997),

and denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dis-
miss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Sanchez v.
United States, Nos. CR-89-33-C; CA-97-239-3-P (W.D.N.C. July 14,

1997 & Aug. 15, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                         DISMISSED
