    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. Morris, Nos. CR-96-173; CA-98-5-2 (S.D.W.
    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
