Christopher A. Calloway, Appellant Pro Se. Christopher Garrett
Hill, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Christopher A. Calloway, a state prisoner, seeks to appeal the
district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the
magistrate judge and denying relief on his petition filed under 28
U.S.C. § 2241 (2000). We have reviewed the record and conclude on
the reasoning stated by the district court that Calloway has not
made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
See Calloway v. Angelone, No. CA-01-927-2 (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 3,
2002 & entered Oct. 4, 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
