* Although this motion was filed in the district court
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(6), it essentially sought to
preserve Savoy’s claims raised in his underlying motion to vacate,
set aside, or correct his sentence.

PER CURIAM:
Robert Dion Savoy seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion for relief from judgment in which he challenged
the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. * We have reviewed
the record and conclude on the reasoning of the district court that
Savoy has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See United States v. Savoy, Nos. CR-90-398-A;
CA-94-1179-AM (E.D. Va. Mar. 21, 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
