    Anthony STOKES, Petitioner—Appellant, v. WARDEN, RED ONION STATE PRISON, Respondent—Appellee.
    No. 04-7595.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Jan. 24, 2005.
    Decided Feb. 10, 2005.
    Anthony Stokes, Appellant pro se. Amy L. Marshall, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
    Before WILLIAMS and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).
   PER CURIAM.

Anthony Stokes 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 on the reasoning of the district court that Stokes has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Stokes v. Warden, Red Onion State Prison, No. CA-04-26-3 (E.D.Va. Aug. 25, 2004). Accordingly, we deny a certifícate 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
