PER CURIAM.
AMn Akinkoye 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 Akinkoye has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Akinkoye, No. CR-97-151-PJM (D.Md. Aug. 15, 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.
