PER CURIAM:
Terence R. Hansford seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000).
We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and
conclude on the reasoning of the district court that Hansford has
not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional
right. See Hansford v. Angelone, No. CA-01-615-AM (E.D. Va. Mar.
12, 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
