Michael Hill, Appellant Pro Se.    John Samuel Bowler, Assistant
United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Michael Hill seeks to appeal the district court’s orders de-

nying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp.

1998), and denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinions 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. Hill, Nos. CR-96-42-F; CA-97-73-7-F (E.D.N.C. July 17,

1997; Jan. 23, 1998; Mar. 11, 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
