PER CURIAM:

     Henry Lee Huff 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 accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of ap-
pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. United States v. Huff, CR-93-11-6, CA-97-469-6 (M.D.N.C.
Dec. 30, 1997). We also decline to address issues raised for the

first time on appeal. See Muth v. United States, 

, 250

(4th Cir. 1993). 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
