    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Johnny Macon PLEASANTS, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 03-6016.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted June 3, 2003.
    Decided June 30, 2003.
    Johnny Macon Pleasants, Appellant Pro Se. Rudolf A. Renfer, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
    Before NIEMEYER, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM.

Johnny Macon Pleasants seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Pleasants has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Miller-El v. Cockrell 537 U.S. 322, 123 S.Ct. 1029, 154 L.Ed.2d 931 (2003). 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.
