Harold Grammer, Appellant Pro Se. Sean Kittrell, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Harold Grammer seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000).    We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and conclude

on the reasoning of the district court that Grammer has not made a

substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.   See

Grammer v. United States, No. CA-01-2750-2 (D.S.C. Mar. 25, 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
