Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Patrice Behanzin Wilson 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 Wilson has not made a substantial
showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States
v. Wilson, Nos. CR-96-34-BR; CA-01-215-7-BR (E.D.N.C. Sept. 19,
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
