Jimmy Bacon appeals the district court’s order dismissing his motion under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000) as untimely. 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 Bacon’s appeal substantially on the reasoning of the district court. * See United States v. Bacon, Nos. CR-95-123-BO; CA-01-61-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Mar. 16, 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.
