Ronald Cureton, Appellant Pro Se. Brian Lee Whisler, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ronald Cureton seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000)
as untimely. 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. United States v. Cureton, Nos. CR-96-41-2;
CA-00-484-3-V-2 (W.D.N.C. filed Oct. 25, 2000; entered Oct. 26,
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
