James Robert Ford, Appellant Pro Se. Benjamin H. White, Jr., As- sistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

James Robert Ford seeks to appeal the district court’s order

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

1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny in forma pauperis status,

deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the

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

CR-90-89; CA-98-444 (M.D.N.C. Mar. 17, 1999). 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
