See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant 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 and

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

pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. United States v. Commander, Nos. CR-91-57-G; CA-97-686-2

(M.D.N.C. May 26, 1998). In addition, this Court will generally not

consider issues raised for the first time on appeal. See Karpel v.

Inova Health Sys. Servs., 134 F.3d 1222, 1227 (4th Cir. 1998). We

note there was sufficient evidence to sentence Appellant based upon

crack cocaine.   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
