PER CURIAM: Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997).

We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of ap- pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Kimble, Nos. CR-91-20-NN; CA-96-144-4 (E.D.

Va. Dec. 10, 1996). We further deny Appellant's motion for appoint- ment of counsel as there are no substantial or complex issues of law in this case, and we decline to review any issues Appellant seeks to raise for the first time on appeal. 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
