PER CURIAM:
Arnold Snipes 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 Snipes has not made a substantial showing
of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v.
Snipes, Nos. CR-00-522; CA-02-487-2 (D.S.C. June 19, 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
