    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his
    motion filed under 
    28 U.S.C. § 2255
     (1994) (current version at 
    28 U.S.C.A. § 2255
     (West 1994 & Supp. 1997)). We have reviewed the
    record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible
    error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the
    district court. United States v. Williams, Nos. CR-92-34; CA-96-
    572-AM (E.D. Va. Sept. 30, 1996). See Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S.
    ___, 
    65 U.S.L.W. 4557
     (U.S. June 23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). We note
    that Appellant carried the firearm at issue, as carry is defined by
    this court in United States v. Mitchell, 
    104 F.3d 649
    , 653 (4th
    Cir. 1997). 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.
    AFFIRMED
