Before WILLIAMS, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Chris Parks, Appellant Pro Se. Samuel Gerald Nazzaro, Jr.,
Assistant United States Attorney, Wheeling, West Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Chris Parks seeks to appeal the district court’s order
affirming and adopting in part the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation and 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 Parks has not made a substantial showing of the
denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Parks, Nos.
CR-99-30; CA-01-15-5 (N.D.W. Va. July 15, 2002). Accordingly, we
deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. See 28
U.S.C. § 2253(c) (2000). We deny Park’s motion for appointment of
counsel. 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
