    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis-

    Submitted:   November 20, 1997         Decided:     December 11, 1997

    James Rodney Smith, Appellant Pro Se. John Howarth Bennett, OFFICE
    OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 Appellant's motion
    for appointment of counsel, deny a certificate of appealability,
    and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
    United States v. Smith, Nos. CR-94-65-H, CA-96-849-5-H (E.D.N.C.
    Feb. 13, 1997). 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
