Alexander Cameron, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Drummond Bagwell,
Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Alexander Cameron 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 for the reasons stated by
the district court that Cameron has not made a substantial showing
of the denial of a constitutional right. See Cameron v. Garraghty,
No. CA-01-1192-AM (E.D. Va., filed Oct. 9, 2002; entered Oct. 10,
2002). Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, 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
