Chi Tran, Appellant Pro Se. John H. McLees, Jr., 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Chi Tran 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 Tran has not made a substantial showing of the denial of
a constitutional right. See Tran v. Angelone, No. CA-01-815-2
(E.D. Va. Aug. 30, 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
