John Wilson, Appellant Pro Se. Joseph William Hooge Mott, Assistant
United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
John L. Wilson seeks to appeal the district court’s final
order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s memorandum
opinion and conclude for the reasons stated by the district court
that Wilson has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See Wilson v. United States, Nos. CR-96-68;
CA-00-775 (W.D. Va. May 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
