Mario Salas, Appellant Pro Se. Nicholas Stephan Altimari, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Mario Salas seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying
his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed
the record and the district court’s opinion and conclude that Salas
has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (2000).
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal. 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
