Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Dovon Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying

his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000).    We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability, deny Brown’s motion for judicial notice, and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court.   See United States

v. Brown, Nos. CR-95-144-H; CA-99-672-H (E.D.N.C. filed July 10;

entered July 11, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         DISMISSED
