  •                             UNPUBLISHED
    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 02-7675
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    SCOTT TREMAYNE GRIFFIN, a/k/a Nugget,
    Defendant - Appellant.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
    District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Raymond A. Jackson, District
    Judge. (CR-99-68-2, CA-02-75-2)
    Submitted:   January 30, 2003             Decided:   February 5, 2003
    Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Scott Tremayne Griffin, Appellant Pro Se.     Ronald Glen Reel,
    COMMONWEALTH’S ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Virginia Beach, Virginia, for
    Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Scott Tremayne Griffin 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 Griffin has not made a substantial
    showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States
    v. Griffin, Nos. CR-99-68-2; CA-02-75-2 (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 1,
    2002 & entered Oct. 2, 2002). We note that Griffin claims on appeal
    that the district court failed to address his selective prosecution
    allegation. While the district court did not expressly address this
    claim, Griffin offered no support for his conclusory allegations.
    Therefore, no relief is warranted.     Accordingly, we deny Griffin’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
