Michael Lewis seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion filed under 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. We decline to consider Lewis’ claim that 21 U.S.C.A. § 841(a)(1) is unconstitutional, presented for the first time on appeal. See Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal substantially on the reasoning of the district court. * See United States v. Lewis, Nos. CR-97-184-V; CA-00-379-3-1-V (W.D.N.C. Mar. 13, 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.
