Elias Bermudez, Appellant Pro Se. Rebeca Hidalgo Bellows, Assis- tant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Elias Bermudez seeks to appeal the district court’s order de-

nying his motion filed under

(West Supp. 1999).

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 dis-

trict court. See United States v. Elias Bermudez, Nos. CR-96-251-

A; CA-99-560-AM (E.D. Va. July 15, 1999). 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
