Blagrove, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Marie Everhart, As- sistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Anthony Blagrove seeks to appeal the district court’s order construing his petition filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) as a motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin- ion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal- ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Blagrove, No. CR-95-52 (E.D. Va. Dec. 7, 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 * The district court order was filed December 4, 1998. 2
