PER CURIAM:
Akin Akinkoye 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 Akinkoye has not made a substantial showing
of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v.
Akinkoye, No. CR-97-151-PJM (D. Md. Aug. 15, 2002). 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
