    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Michael Eugene WALTON, Jr., Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 02-7253.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Oct. 10, 2002.
    Decided Oct. 21, 2002.
    Michael Eugene Walton, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Michael Cornell Wallace, Office of the United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
    Before WILLIAMS, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM.

Michael Eugene Walton, Jr., 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 Walton has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Walton, No. CR-00-3 (E.D.Va. Aug. 13, 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.
