    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 02-6877
    STEVEN EDWARD SNIPES,
    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    THEODIS   BECK,  Secretary,      North   Carolina
    Department of Corrections,
    Respondent - Appellee.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle
    District of North Carolina, at Durham. Frank W. Bullock, Jr.,
    District Judge. (CA-01-983-1)
    Submitted:   November 18, 2002            Decided:   December 13, 2002
    Before WILKINS, MICHAEL, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Steven Edward Snipes, Appellant Pro Se. Clarence Joe DelForge, III,
    OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North
    Carolina, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Steven Edward Snipes seeks to appeal the district court’s
    order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
    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 Snipes has not made a substantial showing
    of the denial of a constitutional right.    See Snipes v. Beck, No.
    CA-01-983-1 (M.D.N.C. filed May 13, 2002; entered May 14, 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
