See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Alfred William Walker seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his action that the district court con-
strued as a 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000) motion. We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no
reversible error.* Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-
ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. Walker v. United States, No. CA-00-851-5-HC (E.D.N.C. Dec.
8, 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
*
Walker’s claim for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) is
unavailing because he does not meet the test for proceeding under
§ 2241 set forth in In re Jones, 226 F.3d 328, 333-34 (4th Cir.
2000).
