    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Pete Smith appeals the district courts order denying his
    motion construed as filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp.
    2002).

    We have reviewed the record and the district courts

    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. See United States v. Smith, Nos. CR-93-117; CA-02265 (M.D.N.C. 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
