PER CURIAM:
Arthur H. Garrison 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 opinion
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Garrison’s motion for a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. United States v. Garrison, Nos.
CR-97-83; CA-01-332-7 (W.D. Va. filed Jan. 10, 2002 & entered Jan.
11, 2002). We grant Garrison’s motion to construe his memorandum
as support for his motion for a certificate of appealability and
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
