Andrew Hembry, Appellant Pro Se. Eugene Paul Murphy, OFFICE OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Andrew Hembry appeals the district court’s order denying re-

lief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &

Supp. 2000), and a subsequent order denying his motion filed under

Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e).   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court's orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court.       See Hembry v. Angelone, No. CA-

99-784 (E.D. Va. Mar. 14 & Apr. 21, 2000).           We further deny

Hembry’s motion for the appointment of counsel.      We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                            DISMISSED
