UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Dacey Maurice JONES, Defendant-Appellant, 48 F. App'x 477

PER CURIAM. Dacey Maurice Jones seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying as untimely his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record and dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. See United States v. Jones, Nos. CR-97-250; CA-00-615-1 (M.D.N.C. filed July 26, 2000; entered July 29, 2002). We deny a certificate of appealability. 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.
