PER CURIAM:
Richard Darin Pierce seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.
1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-
ion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of ap-
pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. See United States v. Pierce, Nos. CR-92-285-2; CA-97-1034-1
(M.D.N.C. Apr. 27, 1999). We deny Pierce’s motion for an expedited
appeal. 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
