UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

No. 02-7200
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
CAREY FLOYD FAIRCLOTH,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, at Wilmington. James C. Fox, Senior
District Judge. (CR-98-23-F, CA-99-180-7-F)
Submitted: October 24, 2002 Decided: October 31, 2002
Before WIDENER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Carey Floyd Faircloth, Appellant Pro Se. Christine Witcover Dean,
Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Carey Floyd Faircloth seeks to appeal the district court’s
orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) and
denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion for reconsideration of
that order. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
orders and conclude for the reasons stated by the district court
that Faircloth has not made a substantial showing of the denial of
a constitutional right. See United States v. Faircloth, No. CR-98-
23-F; CA-99-180-7-F (E.D.N.C. filed May 1 & June 28, 2002; entered
May 2 & July 1, 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
