Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
David Louis McPherson seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255(2000). We have reviewed the record and conclude for the reasons
stated by the district court that McPherson has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See
United States v. McPherson, Nos. CR-00-81-H; CA-02-58-H (E.D.N.C.
July 19, 2002). 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
