Circuit Judge.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Kenneth Bond, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Thomas Judge, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Kenneth Bond seeks to appeal the district court’s judgment
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s memorandum opinion and
conclude on the reasoning of the district court that Bond has not
made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
See Bond v. Angelone, No. CA-01-1277-AM (E.D. Va. filed June 17,
2002; entered June 18, 2002). Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed
in forma pauperis, 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
