2 PER CURIAM:

In No. 99-6942, Robert Lee Bonniwell seeks to appeal the

district court’s order denying his motion filed under

(West Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find 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. Bonni-

well, Nos. CR-96-40; CA-97-652 (E.D. Va. May 12, 1999).

In No. 99-7402, Bonniwell appeals the district court’s order

denying his request for a certificate of appealability. As we

conclude that Bonniwell has not made a substantial showing of the

denial of a federal right, we affirm the district court’s ruling.

See

(c)(2) (West Supp. 1999). 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.

No. 99-6942 - DISMISSED

No. 99-7402 - AFFIRMED
