PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Walter Sadler contests both the
denial of several motions he filed following the issuance of a
warrant for his arrest for violations of his supervised release and
the dismissal without prejudice of his motion under 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 (2000) as successive. For the following reasons, we affirm
the district court’s orders in No. 02-7117 and dismiss the appeal
in No. 02-7408.
In No. 02-7117, Sadler challenges the denial of his motions
requesting appointment of counsel, a bond hearing, and the
dismissal of the supervised release violation charge. However, the
record indicates there was sufficient probable cause for the
district court to find Sadler violated his supervised release, to
issue a warrant for his arrest, to have him detained pending a
hearing on those charges. See 18 U.S.C. § 3606 (2000). Further,
because the district court had not yet scheduled a hearing,
Sadler’s request for appointment of counsel was premature.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order denying those
motions.
In No. 02-7408, Sadler seeks to appeal the district court’s
order dismissing his § 2255 motion filed subsequent to his arrest
for violating the terms of his supervised release. We have reviewed
the record and conclude for the reasons stated by the district
court that Sadler has not made a substantial showing of the denial
3
of a constitutional right. See United States v. Sadler, Nos. CR-
95-134; CA-02-334-3-V (W.D.N.C. July 10, 2002). Accordingly, we
deny a certificate a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (2000). 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.
No. 02-7117 - AFFIRMED
No. 02-7408 - DISMISSED
