MICHAEL ANTHONY WALKER,

                                             Petitioner - Appellant,

          versus

ment of Corrections,

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District
Judge. (CA-00-544-AM)


Submitted:   October 17, 2000             Decided:   November 1, 2000


Before WIDENER, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Michael Anthony Walker, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Michael Anthony Walker appeals the district court’s order

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

1994 & Supp. 2000) and his motion seeking to alter or amend the

judgment.     We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.    See Walker v. Angelone, No. CA- 00-544-AM

(E.D. Va. filed Apr. 3, entered Apr. 4, 2000; filed May 1, entered

May 2, 2000).   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
