PER CURIAM:
Richard M. Patterson appeals the district court’s order deny-
ing his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp.
1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-
ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-
tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. See United States v. Patterson, Nos. CR-97-
60-A; CA-98-355-AM (E.D. Va. Oct. 8, 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
