Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Donald Eugene Puckett, Appellant Pro Se. Rick A. Mountcastle, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Abingdon, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Donald Eugene Puckett 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 certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. See United States v. Puckett, Nos. CR-96-30;

CA-99-696-7 (W.D. Va. Sept. 29, 1999). We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

DISMISSED
