Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Marcus Tyrone Williamson seeks to appeal the district court’s

order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

denying relief on Williamson’s motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255

(2000).    We have reviewed the record and conclude for the reasons

stated    by   the   magistrate    judge    and   the   district   court     that

Williamson has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right. See United States v. Williamson, Nos. CR-00-

288-1; CA-02-81-1 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 26, 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
