See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Rodney Rogers Palacio 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 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
