See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Tracy Glenn Jackson 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 on the reasoning of the district

court that Jackson has not made a substantial showing of the denial

of a constitutional right.    See United States v. Jackson, Nos. CR-

00-192; CA-02-11-1 (M.D.N.C. Aug. 16, 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
