UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jimmy BACON, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 01-6592.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted June 21, 2001.
    Decided July 5, 2001.
    Jimmy Bacon, pro se. Rudolf A. Renfer, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, NC, for appellee.
    Before WIDENER and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
   PER CURIAM.

Jimmy Bacon appeals the district court’s order dismissing his motion under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.2000) as untimely. 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 Bacon’s appeal substantially on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Bacon, Nos. CR-95-123-BO; CA-01-61-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Mar. 16, 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 recently held in United States v. Sanders, 247 F.3d 139, 146 (4th Cir.2001), that the new rule announced in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), is not retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review. Accordingly, Ramirez's Apprendi claim is not cognizable.
