See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Terry Lee Strickland seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255(2000). We have independently reviewed the record and conclude on
the reasoning of the district court that Strickland has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See
United States v. Strickland, Nos. CR-00-110-BO; CA-04-1552-5-BO
(E.D.N.C. Nov. 9, 2004). 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
