UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 00-6089

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

versus

FRED SHORES, JR.,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. C. Weston Houck, District Judge. (CR-93-93, CA-97-1063-4-12)

Submitted: November 30, 2000 Decided: December 8, 2000

Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Fred Shores, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Alfred William Walker Bethea, Assistant United States Attorney, Florence, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Fred Shores, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under

(West Supp.

2000), and the court’s orders declining to reconsider that denial.

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 on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court. See United States v. Shores, Jr., Nos. CR-93-93; CA-

97-1063-4-12 (D.S.C. Dec. 29, 1999; Feb. 25, 2000; May 31, 2000).

Shores’s motion to stay this appeal is denied as moot. We grant

leave to file a supplemental informal brief and to amend his in-

formal brief. The pending motions to supplement the record on ap-

peal are granted. 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
