Dennis Elijah Jemison, Appellant Pro Se. Janet S. Reincke, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Dennis Elijah Jemison seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motions 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
Jemison has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See United States v. Jemison, Nos. CR-97-117;
CA-01-395-2 (E.D. Va. filed July 19, 2002 & entered July 22, 2002;
Aug. 9, 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
