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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Lynval Kerris Anderson, Jr. 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 opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal substantially
on the reasoning of the district court.* United States v. Anderson,
Nos. CR-98-143; CA-00-522 (E.D. Va. Apr. 26, 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
*
Additionally, this court’s records disclose that Anderson’s
claims relating to Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000),
were raised initially in his § 2255 motion. Our recent decision in
United States v. Sanders, 247 F.3d 139 (4th Cir. 2001), thereby
independently forecloses these claims.
