Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Keith Neal Wright, Appellant Pro Se. David Bernard Smith,
Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Keith Neal Wright seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 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 Wright has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See
United States v. Wright, Nos. CR-95-90; CA-01-351-1 (M.D.N.C. filed
June 5, 2002, entered June 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
