PER CURIAM:
Albert Shaw Nelson seeks to appeal the district court’s orders
denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000)
and denying his motion under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We have
reviewed the record and conclude substantially for the reasons
stated by the district court that Nelson has not made a substantial
showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States
v. Nelson, Nos. CR-95-333; CA-99-4168-5-22 (D.S.C. Aug 1, 2001;
Oct. 1, 2001); Boeckenhaupt v. United States, 537 F.2d 1182, 1183
(4th Cir. 1976). 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
