PER CURIAM:

     Steven Elliott Graham seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994

& Supp. 1998).    We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion adopting the report and recommendation of a mag-

istrate judge 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. Graham, Nos.

CR-95-307; CA-97-468-3 (M.D.N.C. May 26, 1998).    We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                          DISMISSED
