See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Dacey Maurice Jones seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying as untimely his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).
We have reviewed the record and dismiss the appeal for the reasons
stated by the district court. See United States v. Jones, Nos. CR-
97-250; CA-00-615-1 (M.D.N.C. filed July 26, 2000; entered July 29,
2002). We deny a certificate of appealability. 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
