Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant seeks to appeal from the district court's orders dismissing for failure to obtain authorization pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2244 (West Supp. 1997), his second 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 abuse of dis- cretion and no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Miller, Nos. CR-89-109-A; CA-97- 612-AM (E.D. Va. Apr. 29, 1997). 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 deci- sional process.

DISMISSED
