Oludare Ogunde, Appellant Pro Se.       Thomas Drummond Bagwell,
Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Oludare Ogunde appeals 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 district court’s

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

certificate      of   appealability   and    dismiss    the    appeal   on    the

reasoning of the district court.          See Ogunde v. Director, Virginia

Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-00-404-AM (E.D. Va. Sept. 10, 2001).

Ogunde’s motion to correct the record is denied.              We deny Ogunde’s

motion for the appointment of counsel at the Government’s expense

and   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
