Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Jaime Mendez seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny- ing 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 a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Mendez, Nos. CR-95-34-V; CA-98-1- 5-V (W.D.N.C. May 21, 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
