    Matthew Lane Drennen appealed the district court's denial of his motion under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed the record and found no reversible error in the district court's acceptance of the magistrate judge's recommendation. The Fourth Circuit therefore denied a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the district court's reasoning that Drennen's motion lacked merit.

    Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Matthew Lane Drennen, Appellant Pro Se. Paul Thomas Camilletti,
    OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Wheeling, West Virginia, for
    Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Matthew Lane Drennen seeks to appeal the district courts
    order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp.
    1999).

    We have reviewed the record and the district courts opin-

    ion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find


    no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
    court.

    See United States v. Drennen, Nos. CR-95-27; CA-98-109-5

    (N.D.W. Va. Apr. 30, 1999). 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
