Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Herman Wooden seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny- ing his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999).

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability, deny Wooden’s motions for appointment of counsel, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Wooden, No. CR-90-18; CA-96-1591-AM (E.D. Va. Mar.

7, 1997). 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
