See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Clinton Mathew Wallace 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 Wallace has not made a substantial

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

v. Wallace, Nos. CR-99-583; CA-02-174-AMD (D. Md. Jan. 22, 2002).

Accordingly,   we   deny   Wallace’s   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
