Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Willie L. Boston, III, Appellant Pro Se. OFFICE OF THE UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Willie L. Boston, III, seeks to appeal the district court’s
May 31, 2002, order and judgment accepting the magistrate judge’s
May 2, 2001, report and recommendation and denying relief on
Boston’s 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion, and the district court’s
October 21, 2002, order denying Boston’s motion for reconsideration
and non-publication. We have independently reviewed the record and
cannot conclude that reasonable jurists would find the district
court’s rulings debatable. Accordingly, we grant Boston’s pending
motion for non-publication of this Court’s opinion, deny a
certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal. 28 U.S.C.
§ 2253(c) (2000); Miller-El v. Cockrell, U.S. , 2003 WL
431659, at *11 (U.S. Feb. 25, 2003). 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 in the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
