Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Joseph Lampkin seeks to appeal the district court’s order de-
nying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000).
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. United States v. Lampkin, Nos. CR-98-84; CA-00-813-AM
(E.D. Va. May 26, 2000). In addition, we decline to address the
issues raised for the first time on appeal. See Muth v. United
States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993). 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
