Gregory L. Raymer, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Gregory L. Raymer, Sr., seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

(West 1994 & Supp. 2000).     We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   According-

ly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal

on the reasoning of the district court.    See Raymer v. Angelone,

No. CA-00-2017-AM (E.D. Va. Feb. 12, 2001).   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
