Michael Antonio Lucas, Appellant Pro Se. Bonnie S. Greenberg, OF- FICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Michael Antonio Lucas 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 opin- ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif- icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Lucas, Nos. CR-91-309; CA-00-3381-S (D. Md. filed Nov. 15, 2000; entered Nov. 16, 2000). Lucas’ motions to proceed in forma pauperis are denied. We dis- pense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
