THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, West Virginia, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
James T. Morris seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion for reconsideration of the court’s denial of his
motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find
the appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court as explained in its order denying leave to appeal in
forma pauperis. United States v. Morris, No. CR-96-173; CA-98-5-2
(S.D.W. Va. Dec. 9, 1998). We also deny Appellant’s motion seeking
in forma pauperis status. 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
