United States v. Scates

55 F. App'x 215

Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit·Decided February 5, 2003·No. No. 02-7712·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

David M. Scates 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 for the reasons stated by the district court that Scates has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Scates, Nos. CR-98-87; CA-01-750 (E.D.Va. Oct. 29, 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.
