Raymond Frederick Gilley, Appellant Pro Se. Clarence Joe DelForge,
III, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh,
North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Raymond Frederick Gilley seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254
(2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
find Gilley has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (2000).
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Gilley v. Beck,
No. CA-01-687-1 (M.D.N.C. May 2, 2002). 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
