Edward Ray Smith, Appellant Pro Se. S. David Schiller, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

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

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

2001).   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 district court.       United States v. Smith, Nos. CR-

97-347; CA-00-252 (E.D. Va. Oct. 22, 2001).         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

                                   2
