Melvin Sanders, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Michael Hamilton, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greensboro, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Melvin Sanders seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion for reconsideration of the denial of 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 Sanders
has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See United States v. Sanders, Nos. CR-93-
281; CA-02-710-1 (M.D.N.C. filed Oct. 17, 2002; entered Oct. 18,
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
