Eric Leonard Gadsen, Appellant Pro Se. Dean Arthur Eichelberger,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            Eric Leonard Gadsen seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying relief on his motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255

(2000), and denying his motion for reconsideration under Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b).       We have independently reviewed the

record and conclude that Gadsen has not made a substantial showing

of   the   denial   of   a   constitutional   right.   See   Miller-El   v.

Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003).             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
