PER CURIAM:

     Barry Stanley Washington seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994

& Supp. 1998).    We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate

judge 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. Washington, Nos. CR-92-

296-WS; CA-98-549-1 (M.D.N.C. Nov. 30, 1998).   We also deny Wash-

ington’s motion for the preparation of a transcript at government’s

expense and 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
