PER CURIAM:
Angel Sanchez seeks to appeal the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). We
have reviewed the record and conclude for the reasons stated by the
district court that Sanchez has not made a substantial showing of
the denial of a constitutional right. See Sanchez v. Walters, No.
CA-02-257-1 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 24, 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
