UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 02-7675 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus SCOTT TREMAYNE GRIFFIN, a/k/a Nugget,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 Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.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 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 2
