Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Jihad A. Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion for a certificate of appealability. We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealabil-

ity and dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Williams, Nos. CR-

94-18-D; CA-97-192-R (W.D. Va. Nov. 26, 1997). 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
