    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 02-7916
    CHRISTOPHER COLYN GUTKNECHT,
    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    ALTON BASKERVILLE, Warden,
    Respondent - Appellee.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
    District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T. S. Ellis, III, District
    Judge. (CA-02-554)
    Submitted:   March 6, 2003                 Decided:   March 14, 2003
    Before WILKINSON, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Christopher Colyn Gutknecht, Appellant Pro Se.  Jennifer Ransom
    Franklin, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond,
    Virginia, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Christopher Colyn Gutknecht seeks to appeal the district
    court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 
    28 U.S.C. § 2254
     (2000).    We have independently reviewed the record and
    conclude that Gutknecht has not made a substantial showing of the
    denial of a constitutional right.    See Miller-El v. Cockrell,
    U.S.      , 
    2003 WL 431659
    , at *10 (U.S. Feb. 25, 2003) (No. 01-
    7662).    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
