Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ryan Daniel Graves seeks to appeal the district court’s orders
denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000),
and denying his motion to reconsider pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 59(e). We have independently reviewed the record
and conclude that Graves has not made a substantial showing of the
denial of a constitutional right. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 123
S. Ct. 1029, 1039 (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
