John McPhaul, Appellant Pro Se. Cynthia Elaine Tompkins, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     John McPhaul seeks to appeal the district court's order deny-

ing his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp.

1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. United States v. McPhaul, Nos. CR-95-22-BO; CA-96-127-
BO (E.D.N.C. Nov. 8, 1996). 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
