Judge Widener did not participate in consideration of this
case. The opinion is filed by a quorum of the panel pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 46(d).
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Fred Shores, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 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. See United States v. Shores, Nos. CR-90-49;
CA-97-146-5-MU (W.D.N.C. Aug. 6, 1998). 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
