UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

versus

MARCUS TYRONE WILLIAMSON,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Durham. N. Carlton Tilley, Jr., Chief District Judge. (CR-00-288, CA-02-81-1)

Submitted: February 6, 2003 Decided: February 12, 2003

Before WILKINS, MICHAEL, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Marcus Tyrone Williamson, Appellant Pro Se. Lisa Blue Boggs, Assistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Marcus Tyrone Williamson seeks to appeal the district court’s

order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

denying relief on Williamson’s motion filed under

(2000). We have reviewed the record and conclude for the reasons

stated by the magistrate judge and the district court that

Williamson has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right. See United States v. Williamson, Nos. CR-00-

288-1; CA-02-81-1 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 26, 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
