Lawrence E. Murchinson, Appellant Pro Se. S. David Schiller, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Lawrence E. Murchinson seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We
have reviewed the record and conclude for the reasons stated by the
district court that Murchinson has not made a substantial showing
of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v.
Murchinson, Nos. CR-97-313; CA-01-523-1 (E.D. Va. Aug. 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
