See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Ronnie Logan 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 Logan has not made a substantial showing of

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

Nos. CR-00-68; CA-02-274 (W.D.N.C. filed July 29, 2002 & entered

July 30, 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
