Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Dale A. Foster seeks to appeal the district court’s order dis-

missing without prejudice his challenge to his participation in the

“Therapeutic Community,” and denying relief on the remainder of his

claims filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. Foster v. Angelone, No. CA-97-685-R (E.D. Va. Feb. 11,

1998). 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
