Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Obadya Hanifi Abed, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Jack Bondurant, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Obadya Hanifi Abed seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under

(West Supp.

2001). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. See United States v. Abed, Nos. CR-97-24; CA-

01-356-7 (W.D. Va. Oct. 22, 2001); see also Tyler v. Cain, U.S.

,

(2001); United States v. Sanders,

(4th Cir.), cert. denied, U.S. ,

(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
