Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Harold Smith, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin- ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif- icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Smith, Nos. CR-85-166; CA-99-800-13 (D.S.C. Apr. 9, 1999). We deny Smith leave to proceed in forma pauperis and also deny Smith’s motion for transcript at government expense. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
