U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2002-12-02

Applies 28 U.S.C. § 2253 (Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996) · 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996)

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion · Decided 2002-12-02

PER CURIAM.

¶1 Mark Allen Jackson seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). We have reviewed the record and conclude for the reasons stated by the district court that Jackson has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. * See United States v. Jackson, Nos. CR-99-421-A; CA-02-908-AM (E.D.Va. July 3, 2002). Accordingly, we *440 deny a certificate of appealability, deny Jackson’s request for transcripts, 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.

¶2 DISMISSED.

¶3 To the extent Jackson challenges the district court’s failure to permit an amendment to his § 2255 motion, any such amendment would have been untimely.
