Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Jerry Lee Watson seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West

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

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court. See United States v. Watson, Nos. CR-92-

143; CA-96-3243-6-20AK (D.S.C. Oct. 7, 1998). 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
