John L. Wilson seeks to appeal the district court’s final order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s memorandum opinion and conclude for the reasons stated by the district court that Wilson has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Wilson v. United States, Nos. CR-96-68; CA-00-775 (W.D.Va. May 6, 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.
