Harold Pollard, Appellant Pro Se. Richard Charles Kay, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Harold Pollard 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 Pollard has not made a substantial showing

of the denial of a constitutional right.   See See United States v.

Pollard, Nos. CR-95-312; CA-02-3059-S (D. Md. filed Sept. 16, 2002

& entered Sept. 17, 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
