(CR-96-34-BR, CA-00-730-5-BR) Submitted: January 31, 2002 Decided: February 7, 2002 Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Kieran Joseph Shanahan, SHANAHAN LAW GROUP, Raleigh, North Caro- lina, for Appellant. Robert Edward Skiver, Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: James Vincent Wells 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 on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Wells, Nos. CR-96-34-BR; CA- 00-730-5-BR (E.D.N.C. filed June 8, 2001 & entered June 12, 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
