    PER CURIAM:
    Hassan Shabazz seeks to appeal the district courts order
    denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. 2254 (2000).
    We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Shabazz

    substantial

    constitutional right.

    showing

    of

    the

    denial

    of

    dismiss the appeal.

    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.
