Eric Arthur Walton, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Eric Arthur Walton seeks to appeal the district court’s order
accepting the recommendations of the magistrate judge and denying
relief on 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 Walton has not made a substantial showing of
the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Walton,
Nos. CR-94-21; CA-99-86 (N.D.W. Va. Feb. 28, 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
