PER CURIAM:
James Edward Dawkins seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motions correctly construed as requesting relief
under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). 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. Dawkins,
No. CR-95-9 (W.D.N.C. May 24, 2002). Dawkins’ motion for the
appointment of counsel is denied. We deny leave to proceed on
appeal in forma pauperis. 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
