Frankie Barbara Delise seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying her 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition that the court properly construed as a motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and conclude for the reasons stated by the district court that Delise has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Delise, No. CR-99-16 (E.D. Va. filed May 17, 2002; entered May 24, 2002). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and grant the Government’s motion to 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.
