The appellate court reviewed the district court's decision and found no reversible error.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 02-6089

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    ERIC BERNARD HOPE,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
    District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Richard L. Voorhees,
    District Judge. (CR-99-7-V, CA-01-51-3-V-1)

    Submitted:

    May 16, 2002

    Decided:

    May 23, 2002

    Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Eric Bernard Hope, Appellant Pro Se. Brian Lee Whisler, OFFICE OF
    THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for
    Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Eric Bernard Hope seeks to appeal the district courts order
    denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp.
    2001).

    We have reviewed the record and the district courts

    opinion and find no reversible error.

    Accordingly, although we

    grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny a certificate of


    appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
    district court.

    See United States v. Hope, Nos. CR-99-7-V; CA-01-

    51-3-V-1 (W.D.N.C. filed Dec. 19, 2001, entered Dec. 20, 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
