Aland Tracy Hall, Appellant Pro Se. Ray B. Fitzgerald, Jr., OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlottesville, Virginia, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Aland Tracy Hall appeals the district court’s orders:    (1)

dismissing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.

2000) motion for failure to obtain authorization pursuant to 28

U.S.C.A. § 2244 (West 1994 & Supp. 2000); and (2) denying his

motion for reconsideration of that order.    We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and orders and find no re-

versible error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.   United States v. Hall, Nos. CR-94-92; CA-01-4-7 (W.D. Va.

Jan. 5 and 24, 2001).   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         DISMISSED
