See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Warren Allison seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A.§ 2255 (West 1994
& Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-
tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. United States v. Allison, Nos. CR-90-446-A;
CA-97-649-AM (E.D. Va. Sept. 29, 1997). To the extent that Allison
challenged the forfeiture of his personal property, however, we
note that the dismissal is without prejudice to his filing of a
motion for return of seized property pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P.
41(e). 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
