    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern

    Michael S. Sofidiya, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. Stephen P. Learned,
    Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for
    Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Michael S. Sofidiya seeks to appeal the district courts order
    denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp.
    2000).

    We have reviewed the record and the district courts memo-

    randum 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. Sofidiya, Nos.

    CR-97-21-A; CA-99-1600-AM (E.D. Va. Feb. 16, 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
