Jerome Frederick Satterfield, Appellant Pro Se. Sandra Jane

Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jerome Frederick Satterfield seeks to appeal the district
court’s order accepting the recommendation 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 on the reasoning
of the district court that Satterfield has not made a substantial
showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States
v. Satterfield, Nos. CA-01-799-1; CR-99-131 (M.D.N.C. May 22,
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
