Before NIEMEYER and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Fleming Macon Pleasants, Appellant Pro Se. Rudolf A. Renfer, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Fleming Macon Pleasants, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under

(2000). We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. See Pleasants v. DeWalt, No. CA-02-466-5-HO

(E.D.N.C. Feb. 14, 2003). 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.

AFFIRMED
