UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

versus

BELTON HARRIS, JR.,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Matthew J. Perry, Jr., Senior District Judge. (CR-99-1055; CA-03-82)

Submitted: April 15, 2004 Decided: November 9, 2004

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

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Belton Harris, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Stacey Denise Haynes, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Belton Harris, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying his petition filed under

(2000) and

his motion for reconsideration of that order. We have

independently reviewed the record and find no reversible error. We

therefore affirm both orders on the reasoning of the district

court. See United States v. Harris, Nos. CR-99-1055; CA-03-82

(D.S.C. filed Aug. 18, 2003, and entered Aug. 19, 2003; filed Jan.

9, 2004, and entered Jan. 12, 2004). We deny Harris’s motion for

appointment of counsel. 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
