See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Anthony Wayne Cameron seeks to appeal the district
court’s order dismissing his petition he labeled as filed under 28
U.S.C. § 2241 (2000). We have reviewed the record and conclude for
the reasons stated by the district court that Cameron’s claims
should be asserted under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). Cameron,
however, has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right as to the district court’s dismissal. See
Cameron v. Stansberry, No. CA-04-628 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 21, 2004).
Accordingly, we deny Cameron a certificate of appealability, deny
leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismiss the appeal. See 28
U.S.C. § 2253(c) (2000).
To the extent that Cameron’s notice of appeal and
appellate brief can be construed as a motion for authorization to
file a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion, we deny such
authorization. See United States v. Winestock, 340 F.3d 200, 208
(4th Cir.), cert. denied, 124 S. Ct. 496 (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 the decisional process.
DISMISSED
