Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Torrance Jones seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.

2001). 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

district court.   United States v. Jones, Nos. CR-96-79-BO; CA-00-

728-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Sept. 18, 2001). We deny Jones’ suggestion that

this Court should stay its ruling in this case pending the outcome

of certain state proceedings.        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
