Fred Shores, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Alfred William Walker Bethea,
Assistant United States Attorney, Florence, South Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Fred Shores, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.
2000), and the court’s orders declining to reconsider that denial.
We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. See United States v. Shores, Jr., Nos. CR-93-93; CA-
97-1063-4-12 (D.S.C. Dec. 29, 1999; Feb. 25, 2000; May 31, 2000).
Shores’s motion to stay this appeal is denied as moot. We grant
leave to file a supplemental informal brief and to amend his in-
formal brief. The pending motions to supplement the record on ap-
peal are granted. We dispense 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
