Freeman Carver, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Freeman Carver seeks to appeal the district court’s order de-

nying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.

2000).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. See Carver v. Beck, No. CA-00-96-2-MU (W.D.N.C.

May 8, 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
