    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 02-7271
    EZRA LUCAS,
    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    RONALD HUTCHINSON, Warden, Maryland House of
    Corrections; J. JOSEPH CURRAN, JR., Attorney
    General of the State of Maryland,
    Respondents - Appellees.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    Maryland, at Baltimore. Marvin J. Garbis, District Judge. (CA-02-
    366-MJG)
    Submitted:    December 16, 2002        Decided:     December 20, 2002
    Before LUTTIG, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Fred Warren Bennett, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellant. Ann Norman
    Bosse, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore,
    Maryland, for Appellees.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Ezra Lucas 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 Lucas has not made a substantial showing of the
    denial of a constitutional right.    See Lucas v. Hutchinson, No.
    CA-02-366-MJG (D. Md. July 31, 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
