    William Harlan Panther, Appellant Pro Se.


    Richard Bain Smith,
    Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    William Harlan Panther seeks to appeal the district courts
    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 Panther has not made a substantial showing
    of the denial of a constitutional right.

    See Panther v. Jarvis,

    No. CA-01-712-7 (W.D. Va. Sept. 9, 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
