Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: James Robert Ford 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 accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny in forma pauperis status, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Ford, Nos. CR-90-89; CA-98-444 (M.D.N.C. Mar. 17, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
