PER CURIAM:
Rufus O. Braboy, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254
(2000). We have independently reviewed the record and conclude
that Braboy has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 123 S. Ct. 1029,
1039 (2003). 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
