    No. 97-7849

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    WENDELL SERGEANT,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, at Charleston. Charles H. Haden II, Chief
    District Judge. (CR-92-329, CA-97-419-2)
    Submitted:

    March 26, 1998

    Decided:

    April 7, 1998

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Before WIDENER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior
    Circuit Judge.
    Cheryl Johns Sturm, Westtown, Pennsylvania, for Appellant. Michael
    Lee Keller, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, West
    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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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
    accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no
    reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
    United States v. Sergeant, Nos. CR-92-329, CA-97-419-2 (S.D.W. Va.
    Oct. 29, 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
