See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Angel Sanchez 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 Sanchez has not made a substantial showing of

the denial of a constitutional right.   See Sanchez v. Walters, No.

CA-02-257-1 (M.D.N.C. Oct. 24, 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
