Kenneth Dane Gray, Appellant Pro Se. Anthony Paul Giorno, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Kenneth Dane Gray seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying 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 Gray has not made a substantial showing of the

denial of a constitutional right.   See United States v. Gray, Nos.

CR-98-28; CA-00-586 (W.D. Va. Apr. 12, 2002). Accordingly, we deny

Gray’s motion for 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
