PER CURIAM:
Kemba Niambi Smith appeals the district court’s orders denying
her motions filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999) and
Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict court’s orders 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. Smith, Nos.
CR-93-162; CA-97-411-2-02 (E.D. Va. Aug. 4 & Oct. 1, 1999). 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
