    Adam GRIMES, III, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Commonwealth of VIRGINIA, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 02-6924.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Sept. 4, 2002.
    Decided Sept. 18, 2002.
    Adam Grimes, III, Appellant Pro Se. Steven Andrew Witmer, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
    Before WIDENER, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM.

Adam Grimes, III, 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 Grimes has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Grimes v. Commonwealth of Virginia, No. CA-02-183 (E.D.Va. May 22, 2002). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeala-bility 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.
