    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued an unpublished opinion dismissing Leroy Ellis's appeal of a district court order denying his motion to vacate, set aside or correct his sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The appellate court reviewed the district court record and found no reversible error in the reasoning of the lower court decision. As such, the Fourth Circuit denied Ellis a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal based on the district court's reasoning that Ellis's § 2255 motion lacked merit.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 00-6144

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    LEROY ELLIS,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Jackson L. Kiser, Senior District
    Judge. (CR-94-36-D, CA-99-981)

    Submitted:

    May 25, 2000

    Decided:

    June 5, 2000

    Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judge.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Leroy Ellis, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Paul Crouch, Jr., United
    States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Leroy Ellis seeks to appeal the district courts order denying
    his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp. 1999).

    We

    have reviewed the record and the district courts opinion 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. Ellis, Nos. CR-94-36-D; CA-99-981 (W.D.
    Va. Dec. 29, 1999).

    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
