Vannis L. Liverman, Appellant Pro Se. Fernando Groene, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Vannis L. Liverman seeks to appeal the district court’s order
construing his petition to correct the presentence report as a
successive motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) and denying
relief because he failed to obtain authorization from this court
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244 (2000). We have reviewed the record
and conclude that Liverman has not made a substantial showing of
the denial of a constitutional right. 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
