Clifton Miles SUTTON, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Ronald J. ANGELONE, Director of Department of Corrections, Respondent-Appellee, 46 F. App'x 725

PER CURIAM. Clifton Miles Sutton 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 Sutton has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Sutton v. Angelone, No. CA-01-867-AM (E.D.Va. Apr. 30, 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.
