Kenneth Albert Conrad, Appellant Pro Se. Scarlett Anne Wilson, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

(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

appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis- trict court. United States v. Conrad, Nos. CR-95-1066; CA-97-957-17 (D.S.C. July 21, 1997). We also deny Appellant's motion for ap-

pointment of counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

DISMISSED
