Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Dairus Kiowa Perkins 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. Perkins, Nos. CR-96-30029; CA-97-434-R (W.D. Va. July 6, 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
