See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     David Louis McPherson 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   McPherson   has   not   made   a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.              See

United States v. McPherson, Nos. CR-00-81-H; CA-02-58-H (E.D.N.C.

July 19, 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
