PER CURIAM:
David Lee Smith seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion for
release pending appeal of the court’s order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motions for
reconsideration of the court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Smith v. Jackson, No. 5:06-hc-02061-BO (E.D.N.C.
Mar. 21, 2019). We deny Smith’s motion for a certificate of appealability as unnecessary.
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
