Dennis Jackson Moore, Appellant Pro Se. Eugene Paul Murphy, OFFICE
OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Dennis Jackson Moore 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 and conclude on the reasoning of the district court that
Moore has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See Moore v. Angelone, No. CA-01-342-3 (E.D.
Va. Feb. 14, 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
