Robert Lewis Falls, Appellant Pro Se. Ray B. Fitzgerald, Jr.,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlottesville, Virginia,
for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Robert Falls seeks to appeal the district court's order and

order on reconsideration 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. Accord-

ingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.
Falls, Nos. CR-93-5; CA-96-945-R (W.D. Va. Feb. 18, 1997; Jan. 21,

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
