Jimmy Scurry, Appellant Pro Se. Mark C. Moore, Assistant United
States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Jimmy Scurry seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny-

ing his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000).

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal substantially on the reasoning

of the district court.*   See United States v. Scurry, Nos. CR-95-

409; CA-00-3301-19-3 (D.S.C. filed Jan. 25, 2001; entered Jan. 26,

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

       The district court did not have the benefit of this court’s
opinion in United States v. Sanders,      F.3d    , 

(4th Cir. Apr. 13, 2001) (No. 00-6281).
