See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Adrian Clark seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny-

ing 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 certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court. See United States v. Clark, Nos. CR-96-20; CA-98-54-3

(N.D.W. Va. Sept. 3, 1999).     Additionally, we decline to address

the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel, which was raised

for the first time on appeal.    We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                          DISMISSED
