See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     James Edward Smith seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion that it construed as filed under 28 U.S.C.A.

§ 2255 (West Supp. 2000).   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict 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. Smith, Nos.

CR-90-71; CA-00-696-3 (E.D. Va. Oct. 19, 2000).    We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                          DISMISSED
