PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated cases, Richard Mears seeks to appeal the
district court’s orders denying his motions filed under 28 U.S.C.A.
§ 2255 (West Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the records and the
district court’s opinions accepting the recommendations of the mag-
istrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
certificates of appealability and dismiss the appeals on the rea-
soning of the district court. See United States v. Mears, Nos. CR-
84-218; CA-99-288-1; CR-84-194; CA-99-269-1 (M.D.N.C. Mar. 29,
2000). 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
