UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Kerji POLITE, Defendant-Appellant, 45 F. App'x 300

PER CURIAM. Kerji Polite seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and conclude on the reasoning of the district court that Polite has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See United States v. Polite, Nos. CR-97-943; CA-01-437-23-2 (D.S.C. filed May 21, 2002, entered May 22, 2002). 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.
