Wainsworth Marcellus Hall, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

     Wainsworth M. Hall seeks to appeal the district court’s order

construing his motion as a motion challenging his sentence pursuant

to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001), and dismissing it as a

second or successive motion lacking authorization from this court,

as required by § 2255.   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion 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. Hall, No.

CR-93-162 (E.D. Va. filed June 29, 2001 & entered June 20, 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
