Mark A. Anderson, Appellant Pro Se.      Robert H. Anderson, III,
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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

     Mark A. Anderson appeals from the district court’s orders

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

1994 & Supp. 2001), and denying his motion for reconsideration. We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and find

no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of ap-

pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Anderson v. Angelone, No. CA-01-529-3 (E.D. Va. filed

Nov. 5, 2001 & entered Nov. 6, 2001; Dec. 7, 2001).    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
