    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 00-7285
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    MICHAEL SHOWELL,
    Defendant - Appellant.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    Maryland, at Baltimore. Herbert N. Maletz, Senior Judge, sitting
    by designation. (CR-97-424, CA-99-3561-HNM)
    Submitted:   December 5, 2000          Decided:     December 19, 2000
    Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Michael Showell, Appellant Pro Se. Jane Meadowcroft Erisman, As-
    sistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Michael Showell appeals the district court’s denial of his
    motion filed under 
    28 U.S.C.A. § 2255
     (West Supp. 2000) and asserts
    only one claim on appeal:   that he received ineffective assistance
    of counsel when counsel did not note a requested appeal.       The
    district court has granted a certificate of appealability as to
    Showell’s claim that his attorney failed to note an appeal.     We
    have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find
    no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-
    ability as to all remaining claims and dismiss the entire appeal on
    the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Showell,
    Nos. CR-97-424; CA-99-3561-HNM (D. Md. Aug. 9, 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
