The opinion
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.
