Assistant United States Attorney, Charleston, South Carolina, for
Appellee.

PER CURIAM:
Darrol J. Harrison seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.
2001). 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 substantially on the
reasoning of the district court.* Harrison v. United States, Nos.
CR-92-446; CA-00-3877-2-18 (D.S.C. July 31, 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
*
We recently held in United States v. Sanders, 247 F.3d 139
(4th Cir. 2001), that the new rule announced in Apprendi v. New
Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), is not retroactively applicable to
cases on collateral review. Accordingly, Appellant’s Apprendi
claim is not cognizable for this reason, in addition to those
provided by the district court.
