No. 02-7584

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

versus

VICTOR RAMON LOVE,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at New Bern. Malcolm J. Howard, District Judge. (CR-00-31, CA-02-86-4-H)

Submitted: March 20, 2003 Decided: March 25, 2003

Before WILLIAMS and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Victor Ramon Love, Appellant Pro Se. Rudolf A. Renfer, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Victor Ramon Love seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).

We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Love

has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 123 S.Ct. 1029

(U.S. Feb. 25, 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
