Franklin Roosevelt West, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.     Anthony Paul
Giorno, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia,
for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Franklin Roosevelt West, Jr., seeks to appeal the district

court’s order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255

(West Supp. 2001).   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion 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. West, Nos. CA-

96-763; CA-01-490-7 (W.D. Va. July 9, 2001). 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
