Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
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 up-
holding the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no re-
versible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability
and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
United States v. Gant, Nos. CR-94-88; CA-96-683-5 (S.D.W. Va. Mar.
17, 1997). 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
