    Roy Lee Owens appealed the district court's denial of his motion to vacate his sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed the record and found no reversible error in the district court's acceptance of the magistrate judge's recommendation. The Fourth Circuit denied Owens' request for a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the district court's reasoning as stated in its March 7, 1997 opinion. The Fourth Circuit determined that oral arguments would not aid in the decision.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 97-6454

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    ROY LEE OWENS,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Richard C. Erwin, Senior
    District Judge. (CR-89-237-R, CA-96-492-3)
    Submitted:

    September 11, 1997

    Decided:

    September 22, 1997

    Before RUSSELL, MURNAGHAN, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Roy Lee Owens, Appellant Pro Se. Richard Stanley Glaser, Jr.,
    Assistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for
    Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
    his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997).
    We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion
    accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no
    reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
    United States v. Owens, Nos. CR-89-237-R; CA-96-492-3 (M.D.N.C.
    Mar. 7, 1997). 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
