    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Hosea Fanadise HAMPTON, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 02-7860.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Feb. 6, 2003.
    Decided Feb. 13, 2003.
    Hosea Fanadise Hampton, Appellant Pro Se. Steven Hale Levin, Office of the United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.
    Before WILKINS, MICHAEL, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM.

Hosea Fanadise Hampton seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 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 Hampton has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Hampton, Nos. CR-99-320; CA-02-324-1 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 7, 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.
