PER CURIAM:
Scott Tremayne Griffin 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 on the reasoning
of the district court that Griffin has not made a substantial
showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States
v. Griffin, Nos. CR-99-68-2; CA-02-75-2 (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 1,
2002 & entered Oct. 2, 2002). We note that Griffin claims on appeal
that the district court failed to address his selective prosecution
allegation. While the district court did not expressly address this
claim, Griffin offered no support for his conclusory allegations.
Therefore, no relief is warranted. Accordingly, we deny Griffin’s
motion for 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
