See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Kevin Matthew Griffin seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

(West 1994 & Supp. 2001).   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

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

we deny Griffin’s motion to amend the record on appeal, deny a

certificate   of   appealability,   and    dismiss   the   appeal   on   the

reasoning of the district court.        Griffin v. Angelone, No. CA-99-

337-AM (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 4, 2001; entered Apr. 5, 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
