  •                             UNPUBLISHED
    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 01-7216
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    WESLEY HODGE,
    Defendant - Appellant.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
    District of North Carolina, at New Bern. Terrence W. Boyle, Chief
    District Judge. (CR-96-54-BO, CA-99-178-4-BO)
    Submitted:   January 14, 2002             Decided:   February 4, 2002
    Before LUTTIG, WILLIAMS, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Wesley Hodge, Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Wesley Hodge seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny-
    ing his motion filed under 
    28 U.S.C.A. § 2255
     (West Supp. 2001).
    We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and
    find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
    appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
    trict court.*   See United States v. Hodge, Nos. CR-96-54-BO, CA-99-
    178-4-BO (E.D.N.C. June 14, 2001).    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
    *
    We note that the district court did not abuse its discretion
    by denying Hodge’s motions to amend his § 2255 motion as such
    amendments would have been futile. See United States v. Pittman,
    
    209 F.3d 314
    , 317-18 (4th Cir. 2000), and United States v. Sanders,
    
    247 F.3d 139
    , 151 (4th Cir. 2001).
