UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
TRAVIS THOMPSON,

South Carolina, at Greenville. Henry M. Herlong, Jr., District
Judge. (CR-98-722-3, CA-00-3416-20)

Before LUTTIG and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Cir-
cuit Judge.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Travis Thompson, Appellant Pro Se. E. Jean Howard, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenville, South Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Travis Thompson appeals 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 opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-
ability and dismiss the appeal substantially on the reasoning of
the district court. See United States v. Thompson, Nos. CR-98-722-
3; CA-00-3416-20 (D.S.C. Nov. 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
*
We recently held in United States v. Sanders, F.3d ,
2001 WL 369719 (4th Cir. Apr. 13, 2001) (No. 00-6281), that the new
rule announced in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000) is
not retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review.
Accordingly, Thompson’s Apprendi claim is not cognizable.
