                                 3
PER CURIAM:

     James A. Butler seeks to appeal the district court’s orders

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.

2001), his motion for reconsideration, and various preliminary

motions.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.        Accordingly, we grant

permission to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of

appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court.   See United States v. Butler, No. CR-91-44 (E.D.

Va. Mar. 9 & 29, 2001 & Apr. 27, 2001).      We also deny Butler’s

motion to supplement the record on appeal.    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
