William Hazel, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Marie Everhart, Assistant
United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
William Hazel seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).
We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Hazel
has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, U.S. , 2003
WL 431659, at *10 (U.S. Feb. 25, 2003) (No. 01-7662). 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
