Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Roland Demingo Queen appeals the district court’s order deny- ing his motion to alter or amend the dismissal of his motion filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal based upon the reasoning of the district court.

See United States v. Queen, Nos. CR-95-178-WMN; CA-99-1208-WMN (D.

Md. May 22, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
