OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Willie Edward Hopkins, III, seeks to appeal the district
court’s order denying his motions filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255
(2000). 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. Hopkins, Nos.
CR-97-9; CA-01-803-2 (E.D. Va. Mar. 29, 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
