Matthew Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Edward Bradenham, II,
Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Matthew Johnson appeals the district court’s orders denying
his motions filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001), and
Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict court’s opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. See Johnson v. United States,
Nos. CR-98-76; CA-01-17-4 (E.D. Va. Mar. 19 & Apr. 20, 2001). 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
