Tywon W. Briscoe, Appellant Pro Se. Richard Bain Smith, Assistant
Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Tywon W. Briscoe 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 the district court’s opinion and
conclude on the reasoning of the district court that Briscoe has
not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional
right. See Briscoe v. Buckingham Corr. Ctr., No. CA-00-1080-AM
(E.D. Va. Sept. 27, 2001). 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
