PER CURIAM:
Llewellen Fernando Smith seeks to appeal the district court’s
orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
Supp. 2002). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Smith’s
motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Smith, No.
CR-96-66 (E.D. Va. filed Aug. 7, 2000 & entered Aug. 8, 2000; May
28, 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
