PER CURIAM:

Appellants seek to appeal the district court's orders denying their motions filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp.

1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

ions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certifi-

cate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Edwards, Nos. CR-88-181; CA- 96-3105-7-17 (D.S.C. Mar. 26, 1997); United States v. Cox, Nos. CR-

88-181; CA-96-2934-7-17 (D.S.C. Mar. 26, 1997). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
