Mark Allen Jackson seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on 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 that Jackson has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. * See United States v. Jackson, Nos. CR-99-421-A; CA-02-908-AM (E.D.Va. July 3, 2002). Accordingly, we *440 deny a certificate of appealability, deny Jackson’s request for transcripts, and 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.
