Torrance Jones, Appellant Pro Se. Rudolf A. Renfer, Jr., 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Torrance Jones 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
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate
of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. United States v. Jones, Nos. CR-96-79-BO; CA-00-
728-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Sept. 18, 2001). We deny Jones’ suggestion that
this Court should stay its ruling in this case pending the outcome
of certain state proceedings. 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
