OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Wheeling, West Virginia, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Matthew Lane Drennen seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

1999).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.     See United States v. Drennen, Nos. CR-95-27; CA-98-109-5

(N.D.W. Va. Apr. 30, 1999). 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
