Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Leonel R. Cazaco 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 Cazaco
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 the motion for a certificate of appealability,
deny the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
