UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 02-7200

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

versus

CAREY FLOYD FAIRCLOTH,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Wilmington. James C. Fox, Senior District Judge. (CR-98-23-F, CA-99-180-7-F)

Submitted: October 24, 2002 Decided: October 31, 2002

Before WIDENER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Carey Floyd Faircloth, Appellant Pro Se. Christine Witcover Dean, Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Carey Floyd Faircloth seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying his motion filed under

(2000) and

denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion for reconsideration of

that order. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

orders and conclude for the reasons stated by the district court

that Faircloth has not made a substantial showing of the denial of

a constitutional right. See United States v. Faircloth, No. CR-98-

23-F; CA-99-180-7-F (E.D.N.C. filed May 1 & June 28, 2002; entered

May 2 & July 1, 2002). Accordingly, we deny 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
