See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Mark D. Turner, 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 conclude that Turner has not made
a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See
Turner v. Angelone, No. CA-01-842-7 (W.D. Va. Sept. 27, 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
