PER CURIAM:
John McPhaul seeks to appeal the district court's order deny-
ing 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. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. United States v. McPhaul, Nos. CR-95-22-BO; CA-96-127-
BO (E.D.N.C. Nov. 8, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
