Terrell Deon Jackson, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas More Hollenhorst, Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997).

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

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

pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Jackson, Nos. CR-93-262-A; CA-96-375-AM (E.D. Va. Mar. 27, 1996). See also United States v. Mitchell, 104 F.3d 649, 653-54 (4th Cir. 1997) (holding that a gun located in a

vehicle does not have to be immediately accessible to be considered

"carried" under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1) (1994)). 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
