See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Michael Antonio Lucas seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.
2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-
ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif-
icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
the district court. See United States v. Lucas, Nos. CR-91-309;
CA-00-3381-S (D. Md. filed Nov. 15, 2000; entered Nov. 16, 2000).
Lucas’ motions to proceed in forma pauperis are denied. We dis-
pense 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
