PER CURIAM:
Alonzo Calvin Jones seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000), but
construed as one pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and conclude on the
reasoning of the district court that Jones has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See
Jones v. United States, No. CA-02-2790-2-20BC (D.S.C. Mar. 4,
2002). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal. 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
