Lawrence Gene Lanzy 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 conclude for the reasons stated by the district court that Lanzy has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Lanzy v. Harrison, No. CA-01-3652-24BH-4 (D.S.C. Sept. 25, *922 2002). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (2000). We also deny Lanzy’s “Motion to Accept Exhibit Evidence.” 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.
