Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: John Arthur Cobb, Jr., 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. We deny a certificate of ap- pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court and magistrate judge. See United States v. Cobb, Nos. CR-97- 16, CA-98-109 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 16, 1998). 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
