Sean Darrell Johnson seeks to appeal the district court’s judgment adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and conclude on the reasoning of the district court that Johnson has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Johnson, Nos. CR-9-138; CA-01-300-1 (M.D.N.C. March 28, 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.
