    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 02-6230

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    HECTOR VELAZQUEZ,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
    District of North Carolina, at Statesville. Richard L. Voorhees,
    District Judge. (CR-97-297-V, CA-00-187-S)

    Submitted:

    October 2, 2002

    Decided:

    November 20, 2002

    Before WILKINS, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Noell Peter Tin, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellant. Douglas


    Scott Broyles, Assistant United States Attorney, Charlotte, North
    Carolina, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Hector

    Velazquez

    Velazquez

    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 on the reasoning

    of the district court that Velazquez has not made a substantial


    showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States
    v. Velazquez, Nos. CR-97-297-V; CA-00-187-S (W.D.N.C. filed Nov.
    30, 2001, entered Dec. 3, 2001). 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
