Julio Roberto Castellanos 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 the district court’s memorandum opinion and conclude on the reasoning of the district court that Castellanos has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Castellanos, Nos. CR-91-82; CA-01-571-7 (W.D.Va. June 5, 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 *101 the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
