Arthur D. Karnezis, Appellant Pro Se. Fernando Groene, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Arthur D. Karnezis appeals 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 leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismiss the

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

v. Karnezis, Nos. CR-94-158; Ca-01-266-2 (E.D. Va. Apr. 16, 2001).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
