Kenneth Brian Joyner, Appellant Pro Se. Donald Eldridge Jeffrey,
III, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond,
Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Brian Joyner 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 Joyner has not made a substantial
showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Joyner v.
Angelone, No. CA-01-1189-AM (E.D. Va. filed June 14, 2002 & entered
June 17, 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
