Stephen Belcher, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Lee Keller, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, West Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Stephen Belcher seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). 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 Belcher’s motion to proceed on appeal
in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss
the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United
States v. Belcher, Nos. CR-98-53; CA-01-2-3-2 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 25,
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
