PER CURIAM:
Ronnie Richmond seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-
tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. United States v. Richmond, Nos. CR-89-47;
CA-97-175-1 (M.D.N.C. Apr. 3, 1998). 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
