    Lawrence E. Murchinson, Appellant Pro Se. S. David Schiller, OFFICE


    OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Lawrence E. Murchinson seeks to appeal the district courts
    order denying 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 Murchinson has not made a substantial showing
    of the denial of a constitutional right.

    See United States v.

    Murchinson, Nos. CR-97-313; CA-01-523-1 (E.D. Va. Aug. 6, 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
