    No. 98-7683

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    ANTHONY JOHNSON, a/k/a AJ,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Frank W. Bullock, Jr.,
    Chief District Judge. (CR-95-249, CA-98-116-1)

    Submitted:

    January 21, 1999

    Decided:

    Before LUTTIG, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Anthony Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. David Bernard Smith, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Anthony Johnson 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.

    See United States v. Johnson, Nos. CR-95-249; CA-98-

    116-1 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 27, 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
