Before DAVIS, DUHE’, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Norris Louis McGraw, federal prisoner #60689-079, appeals
from the denial of his motion for relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255. McGraw contends that trial and appellate counsel were
ineffective for failing to properly challenge the vulnerable-
victim adjustment to his offense level and for failing to
challenge the district court’s restitution order.
The district court’s finding that McGraw’s victims were
vulnerable was not clearly erroneous. United States v. Leonard,
61 F.3d 1181, 1188 (5th Cir. 1995). McGraw therefore cannot
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.

prevail on his contention that trial and appellate counsel were
ineffective for failing to object to the adjustment.
Neither we nor the trial court granted McGraw a certificate
of appealability (COA) on the issue whether trial and appellate
counsel were ineffective for failing to challenge the restitution
order in McGraw’s case. We therefore lack jurisdiction to
consider McGraw’s contention. See Whitehead v. Johnson, 157
F.3d 384, 388 (5th Cir. 1998).
AFFIRMED.
