Dennis Elijah Jemison seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motions for reconsideration of the denial of his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record and conclude on the reasoning of the district court that Jemison has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United, States v. Jemi-son, Nos. CR-97-117; CA-01-395-2 (E.D. Va. filed July 19, 2002 & entered July 22, 2002; Aug. 9, 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 the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
