Jr., OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond,
Virginia, for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petitions. We have reviewed
the records and the district court's opinions and find no rever-

sible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause

to appeal and dismiss the appeals on the reasoning of the district

court. Kendrick v. Angelone, Nos. CA-95-363-R; CA-95-459-R (W.D.

Va. Sept. 15, 1995). 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
