UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

versus

CHRISTOPHER ANDARYL WILLS,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Frederic N. Smalkin, Chief District Judge. (CR-99-52-S, CA-02-119-S)

Submitted: August 28, 2002 Decided: September 25, 2002

Before NIEMEYER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Christopher Andaryl Wills, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Michael DiBiagio, Tarra R. DeShields-Minnis, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Christopher Andaryl Wills seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his motion filed under

(2000). We have reviewed the record and conclude on the reasoning

of the district court that Wills has not made a substantial showing

of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v.

Wills, Nos. CR-99-52-S; CA-02-119-S (D. Md. Jan. 14, 2002).

Accordingly, we deny Wills’ motion for a certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal. See

(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
