Daniel L. Spence, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Michael DiBiagio, United
States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Daniel L. Spence seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).
We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Spence
has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, U.S. , 2003
WL 431659, at *10 (U.S. Feb. 25, 2003) (No. 01-7662). Accordingly,
we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. See
28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (2000). 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
