William Sowell, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) and denying reconsideration of that order. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Sowell, Nos. CR-99-158; CA-01-502-1 (M.D.N.C. Feb. 14 and May 14, 2002). 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.
