Roderick Williams, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Michael R. Smythers, As- sistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Roderick Williams, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West

Supp. 1999) and his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s 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. Williams, Nos. CR-97-41-3; CA-99-3-4 (E.D. Va.

Sept. 22 & Oct. 25, 1999). We deny leave to appeal in forma pau-

peris and 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
