PER CURIAM:
Duncan Victor Ayemere Idokogi seeks to appeal the district
court’s orders denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.
§ 2254 (2000), and denying reconsideration. We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s opinion and conclude on the
reasoning of the district court that Idokogi has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See
Idokogi v. Ashcroft, No. CA-01-4039-L (D. Md. Mar. 25, 2002;
Apr. 19, 2002). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability
and dismiss the appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (2000). This
dismissal is without prejudice to Idokogi’s right to file a
petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (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
