Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Emjadia Porter appeals the district court’s order denying his

Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6) motion to reopen the time in which he may

file an appeal from the district court’s order granting in part and

denying in part his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000) motion and

denying his application for a certificate of appealability.      We

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

no reversible error.     See United States v. Porter, No. CR-94-37,

CA-97-690-7 (W.D. Va. Mar. 13, 2000).    Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.    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
