See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

      Dana Leonard Fisher 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 that Fisher

has   not   made   a   substantial   showing    of   the   denial   of   a

constitutional right.     See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 

(U.S. Feb. 25, 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
