See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Johnny M. Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).
We have reviewed the record and conclude for the reasons stated by
the district court that Brown has not made a substantial showing of
the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Brown,
Nos. CR-94-27; CA-99-346-7 (W.D. Va. June 16, 2000). 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
