Akin Akinkoye, Appellant Pro Se. Steven Michael Dettelbach, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Akin Akinkoye seeks to appeal the district court’s order
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 Akinkoye has not made a substantial showing
of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v.
Akinkoye, No. CR-97-151-PJM (D. Md. Aug. 15, 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
