William Earl Marshall, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

       William Earl Marshall appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion for reconsideration of denial of his 28 U.S.C.A.

§ 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2000) petition.     We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. See Marshall v. United States, No. CA-00-146-5-BO (E.D.N.C.

Apr. 20, 2000). We deny Marshall’s motion for appointment of coun-

sel.     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.




                                                           AFFIRMED
