UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Leroy Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s orders deny-
ing relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994
& Supp. 1998), and denying his motion for a certificate of ap-
pealability. We dismiss the appeal from the denial of § 2255 relief
for lack of jurisdiction. Brown filed the notice of appeal outside
the sixty-day appeal period provided by Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1),
and he failed to obtain an extension of the appeal period under
Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5) or (6).
With regard to the denial of the motion for a certificate of
appealability, we have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-
tificate of appealability and dismiss this portion of the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Brown, Nos.
CR-92-62-P; CA-97-193-3-P (W.D.N.C. June 22, 1998). 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
