Shahborn Emmanuel, Appellant Pro Se. Keith Michael Cave, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Shahborn Emmanuel 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 on the reasoning of the
district court that Emmanuel has not made a substantial showing of
the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v.
Emmanuel, Nos. CR-97-288-V; CA-00-411-3 (W.D.N.C. filed Sept. 12,
2002; entered Sept. 13, 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
