UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Javier PACHECO ESTRELLA, a/k/a Elias Jaime, a/k/a Jose Estrada Flores, Defendant-Appellant, 45 F. App'x 315

PER CURIAM. Javier Pacheco Estrella seeks to appeal from the denial of his motion to reconsider and the underlying motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and conclude that Pacheco Estrella has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. 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.

We note that our review is confined to the issues raised in Appellant’s informal brief, see 4th Cir. R. 34(b), which in this case were directed at the issues raised initially on reconsideration rather than in the underlying § 2255 motion.
