Shealy, Jr., OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston,
South Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Javarald Antonio Sullivan 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 Sullivan has not made a substantial showing of the denial of
a constitutional right. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 123 S. Ct. 1029
(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
