Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Jimmy Cornell Smith 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 on the reasoning of the district court that Smith has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Smith v. Beck, No. CA-01-890-5-BO (E.D.N.C. July 26, 2002). Ac *143 cordingly, we deny a certificate of appeala-bility 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.
