PER CURIAM:
Robert Padgett seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have
independently reviewed the record and conclude that Padgett has not
made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
See Miller-El v. Cockrell, U.S. , 123 S. Ct. 1029 (2003).
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
