Julien K. Dilks, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Linn Eckert, Assistant
United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Julien K. Dilks appeals the district court’s order denying his
petition for a writ of error coram nobis. We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. United States v. Dilks, No. CR-93-91 (W.D. Va. Mar. 8,
2001). We also decline to address the claims Dilks raises for the
first time on appeal because he failed to show exceptional circum-
stances. Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993)
(holding that issues raised for first time on appeal generally will
not be considered absent exceptional circumstances, such as plain
error or fundamental miscarriage of justice). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
