Head Matter:
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Virginia DOUGLAS, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 01-6893.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted July 26, 2001.
Decided Aug. 2, 2001.
Virginia Douglas, pro se. Jamie M. Bennett, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, MD, for appellee.
Before WILKINS, LUTTIG, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Virginia Douglas seeks to appeal the district court's order denying her motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.2000). 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. United States v. Douglas, Nos. CR-98-315-CCB; CA-01-747-CCB (D.Md. Mar. 27, 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.
Douglas' claims based upon the rule announced in Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), are without merit. We recently held in United States v. Sanders, 247 F.3d 139 (4th Cir.2001), that the new rule announced in Apprendi is not retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review.
