Robert A. Grate, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Pamela Watkins, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Robert A. Grate, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his petition for a writ of coram nobis, which was

properly construed as a motion filed under

(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 rea-

soning of the district court. United States v. Grate, No. CR-95-13

(E.D. Va. Apr. 13, 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
