PER CURIAM: Jerry Lee Watson seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer- tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Watson, Nos. CR-92- 143; CA-96-3243-6-20AK (D.S.C. Oct. 7, 1998). 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.

DISMISSED
