    Douglas HASKETT, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Tracy RAY, Assistant Warden, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 02-7038.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Sept. 5, 2002.
    Decided Sept. 11, 2002.
    Douglas Haskett, Appellant Pro Se. Mary Kathleen Beatty Martin, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
    Before MOTZ, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   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.
