Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Kevin Haughton 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 Haughton has not made a substantial showing

of the denial of a constitutional right.    See Haughton v. Galley,

No. CA-01-2562-PJM (D. Md. June 6, 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
