Circuit Judge
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Victor Ramon Love, Appellant Pro Se. Rudolf A. Renfer, Jr.,
Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Victor Ramon Love 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 Love
has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 123 S.Ct. 1029
(U.S. Feb. 25, 2003). 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
