PER CURIAM:
James Joseph Owens seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion 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. Owens, Nos. CR-78-17;
CA-98-33-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Mar. 26, 1999). 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
