See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his
28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997) motion. We have re-
viewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed
in forma pauperis, we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.
Brown, Nos. CR-95-79; CA-96-1020-R (W.D. Va. Aug. 29, 1997). 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
