Douglas HASKETT, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Tracy RAY, Assistant Warden, Respondent-Appellee, 46 F. App'x 169

PER CURIAM. Douglas Haskett 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 Haskett has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Haskett v. Ray, No. CA-01-1013-AM (E.D. Va. filed May 28, 2002 & entered May 29, 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.
