PER CURIAM:
David Fitzgerald Lightner 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 opin-
ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif-
icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
the district court. See United States v. Lightner, Nos. CR-93-133-
P; CA-01-580-3-2-MU (W.D.N.C. filed Nov. 9, 2001, entered Nov. 13,
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
