    Angel SANCHEZ, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Charles S. WALTERS, III, Superintendent, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 02-7824.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Feb. 6, 2003.
    Decided Feb. 13, 2003.
    John Clark Fischer, Randolph & Fischer, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for Appellant. Clarence Joe DelForge, III, Office of the Attorney General of North Carolina, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Ap-pellee.
    Before WILKINS, MICHAEL, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM.

Angel Sanchez 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. § 2254 (2000). We have reviewed the record and conclude for the reasons stated by the district court that Sanchez has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Sanchez v. Walters, No. CA-02-257-1 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 24, 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.
