a quorum of the panel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(d).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant Hurley Webb appeals the district court’s order

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

1994 & Supp. 1999).   We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny

a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court. See Webb v. Angelone, No. CA-99-44-7

(W.D. Va. May 6, 1999).   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          DISMISSED
