United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     John L. Wilson seeks to appeal the district court’s final

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

have reviewed the record and the district court’s memorandum

opinion and conclude for the reasons stated by the district court

that Wilson has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right.     See Wilson v. United States, Nos. CR-96-68;

CA-00-775   (W.D.   Va.   May   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
