OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlottesville, Virginia,
for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     James Lorenzo Dooms seeks to appeal the district court’s order

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

2000).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal substantially on the

reasoning of the district court.       See United States v. Dooms, Nos.

CR-98-37; CA-00-947-7 (W.D. Va. Dec. 6, 2000); United States v.

Sanders, 

, 142 (4th Cir. 2001).      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
