See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Michael Dion McFadden seeks to appeal the district court’s
order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
denying relief on McFadden’s petition for habeas corpus relief,
filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). We have reviewed the record
and conclude for the reasons stated by the district court that
McFadden has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. See McFadden v. Harrison, No. CA-00-3934-9-
25BG (D.S.C. filed Aug. 29, 2002 and entered 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
