Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. William Robert Runnells, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. James Ashford Metcalfe, Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: William Robert Runnells, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the dis- trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeals on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Runnells, Nos. CR-88-36, CR- 88-53, CA-96-1154-2 (E.D. Va. Dec. 31, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
