    Aaron Edmund Michel, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellant.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Paul Monroe Covington, Jr. seeks to appeal the district
    courts order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255
    (West Supp. 2001).

    We have reviewed the record and the district

    courts 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. Covington, Nos.

    CR-98-50; CA-01-110-3-V (W.D.N.C. filed July 10, 2001; entered July


    12, 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
