Terrance Lancaster seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying 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 *477 that Lancaster has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Lancaster, Nos. CR-01-1-HO; CA-02-40-4-H (E.D.N.C. June 14, 2002). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). 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.
