trict of West Virginia, at Charleston. Charles H. Haden II, Chief

Submitted: January 31, 2002 Decided: February 6, 2002

Carl Harrison, Appellant Pro Se. Monica Kaminski Schwartz, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, West Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Carl Harrison seeks to appeal the district court’s orders (1)
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.
2001); and (2) denying his motion for remission of his fine. We
have reviewed the record, the district court’s opinion accepting
the recommendation of the magistrate judge, and the district
court’s order denying his motion for remission of his fine, and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. See United States v. Harrison, Nos. CR-97-143; CA-00-
792 (S.D.W. Va Aug. 13 & Sept. 4, 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
*
To the extent that Harrison raises claims in his informal
brief that were not presented to the district court, we note that
he cannot raise them for the first time on appeal. See Muth v.
United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993).
