PER CURIAM:
David Lamont Beeks seeks to appeal the district court’s
order summarily dismissing his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255
(2000). We have independently reviewed the record and conclude
that Beeks has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336
(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
