PER CURIAM:

     Ernest Carl Darcus, Jr., 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 and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.   See United States v. Darcus, Nos. CR-96-43;

CA-98-135-7; CR-95-34; CA-98-192-7 (W.D. Va. Feb. 9, 1999).     We

deny Darcus’ motion to acquire transcripts.   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
