8 F. App'x 233

Walker v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Alfred William Walker seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his action that the district court construed as a 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000) motion. 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 district court. Walker v. United States, No. CA-00-851-5-HC (E.D.N.C. Dec. 8, 2000). 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.

*

Walker’s claim for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) is unavailing because he does not meet the test for proceeding under § 2241 set forth in In re Jones, 226 F.3d 328, 333-34 (4th Cir. 2000).
