PER CURIAM:
Dennis Elijah Jemison seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motions for reconsideration of the denial of his
motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the
record and conclude on the reasoning of the district court that
Jemison has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See United States v. Jemison, Nos. CR-97-117;
CA-01-395-2 (E.D. Va. filed July 19, 2002 & entered July 22, 2002;
Aug. 9, 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
