UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. Terry Lee STRICKLAND, Defendant - Appellant, 124 F. App'x 795

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
