UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 01-6007 ALFRED WILLIAM WALKER, Petitioner - Appellant, versus UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; VANESSA P. ADAMS, Respondents - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis- trict of North Carolina, at Raleigh. W. Earl Britt, Senior District Judge. (CA-00-851-5-HC) Submitted: April 27, 2001 Decided: May 4, 2001 Before LUTTIG and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Cir- cuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Alfred William Walker, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Alfred William Walker seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his action that the district court con- strued as a 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000) motion. 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. Walker v. United States, No. CA-00-851-5-HC (E.D.N.C. Dec. 8, 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 * Walker’s claim for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) is unavailing because he does not meet the test for proceeding under § 2241 set forth in In re Jones, 226 F.3d 328, 333-34 (4th Cir. 2000). 2
