Randy Smith appeals from the district court’s orders: (1) dismissing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000) motion for failure to obtain authorization pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2244 (West 1994 & Supp. 2000); and (2) denying his motion for reconsideration of that order. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Smith v. United States, Nos. CR-96-327-4; CA-00-3658-8-13 (D.S.C. Jan. 19 & Feb. 14, 2001). 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.
