See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Henry Lee Huff 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 accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge 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. Huff, CR-93-11-6, CA-97-469-6 (M.D.N.C. Dec. 30, 1997). We also decline to address issues raised for the first time on appeal. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993). 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
