    Theodore Dowdell appealed the district court's denial of his motion under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed the record and district court opinion and found no reversible error. The appeals court denied a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the reasoning of the district court that denied Dowdell's § 2255 motion. The appeals court also denied Dowdell's requests for an evidentiary hearing, leave to amend his motion, and production of a state court transcript at government expense.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 00-7283

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    THEODORE MCKINLEY DOWDELL, JR., a/k/a Theo
    Dowdell,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Newport News. Raymond A. Jackson, District
    Judge. (CR-98-50, CA-00-21-4)

    Submitted:

    February 16, 2001

    Decided:

    March 1, 2001

    Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and KING, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Theodore McKinley Dowdell, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. William David
    Muhr, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for
    Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Theodore M. Dowdell seeks to appeal the district courts order
    denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp.
    2000).

    In addition, Appellant complains that he should be granted

    an evidentiary hearing, leave to amend his initial 2255 motion,


    and production of a state court transcript at government expense.
    We have reviewed the record and the district courts opinion and
    find no reversible error.

    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

    appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.

    See United States v. Dowdell, Nos. CR-98-50; CA-00-

    21-4 (E.D. Va. Aug. 3, 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
