PER CURIAM:

Robert L. Pernell, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying his post-judgment 

motions in his criminal case. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See United States v. 

Pernell, No. 3:09-cr-00452-REP-DJN (E.D. Va. Oct. 11, 2019). We grant Pernell’s motion 

to exceed length limitations for his informal brief and deny a certificate of appealability as 

unnecessary. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(B) (2018); Harbison v. Bell, 556 U.S. 180, 183 

(2009). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are 

adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the 

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
