Alvin Purdie seeks to appeal the district court’s judgment denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and conclude for the reasons stated by the district court that Purdie has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Purdie, Nos. CR-94-46; CA-02-191-H (E.D.N.C. filed June 14, 2002; entered June 17, 2002). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2258(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.
