See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Virgil Avery Withers 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   Withers   has   not   made   a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.                See

United    States     v.   Withers,   Nos.     CR-00-122-BO;    CA-01-987-5-BO

(E.D.N.C. July 31, 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
