Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Maleake Thomas appeals 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 opinion and find no

reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. See Thomas v. United States, Nos. CR-93-36; CA-99-

39-H (E.D.N.C. Apr. 13, 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.

                                                             AFFIRMED

     *
       While Appellant styled his motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
2241, we find that the district court properly construed the motion
under § 2255.
