PER CURIAM:
Adrian Clark seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny-
ing his motion 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 certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. See United States v. Clark, Nos. CR-96-20; CA-98-54-3
(N.D.W. Va. Sept. 3, 1999). Additionally, we decline to address
the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel, which was raised
for the first time on appeal. We dispense with oral argument be-
cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
