See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Jerome C. Fitzgerald seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994

& Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court. United States v. Fitzgerald, Nos. CR-95-52;

CA-98-418-R (W.D. Va. July 1, 1998); see also Brown v. Angelone,

 (4th Cir. 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
