See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Michael Ray Smith, Jr., appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
Supp. 2000). 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. Smith, Nos. CR-97-
3006; CA-99-465-7 (W.D. Va. Mar. 17, 2000). We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
