PER CURIAM:
Donald E. Tidwell seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001)
and denying his motion to amend the § 2255 motion. 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. Tidwell, Nos. CR-94-297; CA-97-3894-4-12 (D.S.C.
Feb. 27, 2002). 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
