GRADY WILLIAM POWERS,

          versus


ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA,

                                            Respondent - Appellee.



Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western Dis-
trict of North Carolina, at Bryson City. Graham C. Mullen, Chief
District Judge. (CA-99-5-2-MU)


Submitted:   July 8, 1999                  Decided:    July 14, 1999


Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and KING, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Grady William Powers, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Grady William Powers seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. §

2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999), and denying his motion for recon-

sideration.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.   See Powers v. Attorney General of North

Carolina, No. CA-99-5-2-MU (W.D.N.C. Feb. 17 & Mar. 11, 1999). 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
