PER CURIAM:
Jefferson Riascos-Valencia 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
reasoning of the district court. United States v. Riascos-Valencia,
Nos. CR-97-40; CA-01-165-3-2V (W.D.N.C. Feb. 19, 2002). 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
