    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, at Charleston. Charles H. Haden II, Chief

    Submitted:

    August 28, 1997

    Decided:

    September 16, 1997

    Before WILKINS, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Willie James Murphy, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Michael Lee Keller,
    OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, West 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 court's order denying
    his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997).
    We have reviewed the record and the district court's 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. Murphy, Nos. CR-91-277; CA-97-58-2 (S.D.W. Va.
    Feb. 11, 1997). 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
