PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Dane Gray seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying 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 Gray has not made a substantial showing of the
denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Gray, Nos.
CR-98-28; CA-00-586 (W.D. Va. Apr. 12, 2002). Accordingly, we deny
Gray’s motion for 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
