    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 02-6824

    CLIFTON MILES SUTTON,


    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    RONALD J. ANGELONE, Director of Department of
    Corrections,
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
    District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T. S. Ellis III, District
    Judge. (CA-01-867-AM)

    Submitted:

    September 19, 2002

    Decided:

    September 27, 2002

    Before WILKINS, LUTTIG, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Clifton Miles Sutton, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Drummond Bagwell,
    Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Clifton Miles Sutton seeks to appeal the district courts
    order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. 2254
    (2000).

    We have reviewed the record and the district courts

    opinion and conclude on the reasoning of the district court that


    Sutton has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
    constitutional right.

    See Sutton v. Angelone, No. CA-01-867-AM

    (E.D. Va. Apr. 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
