PER CURIAM:
Gerard Valmore Brown 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 certificate of ap-
pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. United States v. Brown, Nos. CR-93-281; CA-97-830-1
(M.D.N.C. May 29, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
