Rodney Rogers Palacio, Appellant Pro Se. James Brien Comey, Jr., John Staige Davis, V, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Rich- mond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Rodney Rogers Palacio seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his motion filed under

(West Supp.

1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certifi-

cate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. See United States v. Palacio, Nos. CR-97-262;

CA-99-135-3 (E.D. Va. Aug. 12, 1999). We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
