PER CURIAM:
John D. Strassini appeals the district court’s order con-
struing his claim as one for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255
(West Supp. 2000) and dismissing for lack of jurisdiction. We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-
ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. See United States v. Strassini, No. CA-00-547-5-H (E.D.N.C.
Oct. 3, 2000). We grant Strassini’s motion to proceed in forma
pauperis on appeal. 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
