David Howard Posey, Appellant Pro Se. Lisa Gursky Sorkin, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
David Howard Posey 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 Posey’s
motion for appointment of counsel, deny a certificate of appeal-
ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. See United States v. Posey, Nos. CR-97-302-A; CA-98-1326
(E.D. Va. Sept. 25, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
