UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-6434
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
TIMOTHY MICHAEL BAKER,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Greenville. G. Ross Anderson, Jr., District
Judge. (CR-96-820, CR-97-1024, CA-99-4093-6-13AK)
Submitted: June 13, 2002 Decided: June 19, 2002
Before WIDENER, LUTTIG, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Timothy Michael Baker, Appellant Pro Se. Elizabeth Jean Howard,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenville, South Carolina,
for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Timothy Michael Baker seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motion for reconsideration of the order denying
his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001) motion and for a
certificate of appealability.* We have reviewed the record and the
district court’s order and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Baker,
Nos. CR-96-820; CA-99-4093-6-13AK (D.S.C. filed Jan. 9, 2002;
entered Jan. 10, 2002). 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
*
Baker’s appeal is limited to the January 10, 2002, order
denying his motion for reconsideration and for a certificate of
appealability. Baker’s motion for reconsideration was not the
functional equivalent of a notice of appeal from the July 30, 2001,
order and judgment denying his § 2255 motion.
