Jeffrey Allen Carter, Appellant Pro Se. Mary Kathleen Beatty
Martin, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Jeffrey Allen Carter appeals the district court’s orders
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000),
and denying reconsideration of that order. We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s opinion accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no substantial
question that Carter was deprived of a constitutional right.
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability, deny leave to
proceed in forma pauperis, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. See Carter v. Angelone, No. CA-00-708-2
(E.D. Va. Aug. 27, 2001; Oct. 25, 2001; Nov. 7, 2001). 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
