PER CURIAM:

     Alonzo Calvin Jones seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000), but

construed as one pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).                           We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the

recommendation       of    the    magistrate      judge    and    conclude       on   the

reasoning      of   the    district      court   that     Jones    has    not    made   a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.                          See

Jones v. United States, No. CA-02-2790-2-20BC (D.S.C. Mar. 4,

2002).    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal.             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

                                           2
