Christopher Andaryl Wills, Appellant Pro Se.      Thomas Michael
DiBiagio, Tarra R. DeShields-Minnis, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES
ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Christopher Andaryl Wills 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 on the reasoning

of the district court that Wills has not made a substantial showing

of the denial of a constitutional right.            See United States v.

Wills,    Nos.   CR-99-52-S;    CA-02-119-S   (D.   Md.    Jan.   14,   2002).

Accordingly,     we   deny     Wills’   motion   for   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
