See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Rodney Lane Hooker 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 Hooker’s motion for a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-
ing of the district court. See United States v. Hooker, Nos. CR-
96-188; CA-98-941-1 (M.D.N.C. Aug. 23, 1999). 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
