See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Kevin Jermaine Melvin appeals from the district court’s order

denying his motion to reconsider a prior order denying relief on

his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999) motion.       Our review of the

record and the district court’s opinion discloses no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.           See

United   States   v.   Melvin,   Nos.    CR-94-139-5-2-F;   CA-98-950-5-F

(E.D.N.C. Sept. 28, 1999).       We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                                DISMISSED
