UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

DEAN COORE,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Rebecca B. Smith, District Judge. (CR-00-236, CA-02-169-2)

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

Before WIDENER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Dean Coore, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Marie Everhart, Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Dean Coore seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying

relief on his motion filed under

(2000). We have

reviewed the record and conclude for the reasons stated by the

district court that Coore has not made a substantial showing of the

denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Coore, Nos.

CR-00-236; CA-02-169-2 (E.D. Va. 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
