    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    LOFTON HOWARD LAMBERT, III,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
    District of Virginia, at Charlottesville. James C. Turk, District
    Judge. (CR-93-5, CA-96-867-R)

    Submitted:

    July 30, 1998

    Decided:

    August 27, 1998

    Before WIDENER, LUTTIG, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Margaret McLeod Cain, MARGARET MCLEOD CAIN, P.C., Charlottesville,
    Virginia, for Appellant. Ray B. Fitzgerald, Jr., OFFICE OF THE
    UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlottesville, Virginia, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant seeks to appeal the district courts order denying
    his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998).
    We have reviewed the record and the district courts opinion
    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.
    United States v. Lambert, Nos. CR-93-5; CA-96-867-R (W.D. Va. May
    18, 1998). 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
