Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
JAVIER PACHECO-ESTRELLA, a/k/a Elias Jaime,
a/k/a Jose Estrada Flores,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T. S. Ellis, III, District
Judge. (CR-00-259)
Submitted: September 6, 2002 Decided: September 18, 2002
Before WILKINS, MOTZ, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Javier Pacheco-Estrella, Appellant Pro Se. David Jay Ignall, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Javier Pacheco-Estrella seeks to appeal from the denial of his
motion to reconsider and the underlying motion filed under 28
U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinions and conclude that Pacheco-Estrella has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.*
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
*
We note that our review is confined to the issues raised in
Appellant’s informal brief, see 4th Cir. R. 34(b), which in this
case were directed at the issues raised initially on
reconsideration rather than in the underlying § 2255 motion.
