Assistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Sean Darrell Johnson seeks to appeal the district court’s

judgment adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation

and denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s order and conclude on

the reasoning of the district court that Johnson has not made a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.   See

United States v. Johnson, Nos. CR-9-138; CA-01-300-1 (M.D.N.C. Mar.

28, 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
