William Sowell, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Steven Hale Levin, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greensboro, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
William Sowell, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s
orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) and
denying reconsideration of that order. 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 a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Sowell, Nos.
CR-99-158; CA-01-502-1 (M.D.N.C. Feb. 14 and May 14, 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
