Derek Lamont Gooding, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Joseph Seidel, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Arenda L. Wright Allen, Assistant United States Attorney, Kevin Michael Comstock, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Derek Lamont Gooding seeks to appeal 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 opin- ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif- icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Gooding, Nos. CR-93-131; CA-01-78-2 (E.D. Va. entered Apr. 26, 2001; filed Apr. 25, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten- tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
