Virgil Avery Withers, Appellant Pro Se. Rudolf A. Renfer, Jr.,
Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Virgil Avery Withers 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 Withers has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See
United States v. Withers, Nos. CR-00-122-BO; CA-01-987-5-BO
(E.D.N.C. July 31, 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
