PER CURIAM:

     Christopher M. Hutchinson seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254

(West 1994 & Supp. 2000).   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly,

we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.     Hutchinson v. Baskerville,

No. CA-99-1675-AM (E.D. Va. Aug. 10, 2000); see Warren v. Basker-

ville, 233 F.3d 204, 206-08 (4th Cir. 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
