UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 01-7483 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus

trict of Virginia, at Norfolk. Rebecca B. Smith, District Judge.

(CR-93-90, CA-00-718-2)

Submitted: October 18, 2001 Decided: October 30, 2001

Before MOTZ and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Wendall Wood, Appellant Pro Se. Fernando Groene, OFFICE OF THE

UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

* Although we have not determined when the limitations period accrues for claims raising issues under Apprendi v. New Jersey

, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), see

United States v. Sanders

, 247 F.3d 139, 144 (4th Cir. 2001), we have held, as the district court recognized,

that Apprendi

does not apply retroactively on collateral review. Id. at 151. 2 PER CURIAM:

Wendell Wood seeks to appeal the district court’s order de-

nying 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 substantially on the reasoning

of the district court. * See

United States v. Wood

, Nos. CR-93-20; CA-00-718-2 (E.D. Va. July 31, 2001). We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process. DISMISSED
