PER CURIAM:

     Samuel Troy Dugan seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying relief on his petition 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 appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court.   See Dugan v. Virginia Dep’t of Cor-

rections, No. CA-98-543 (E.D. Va. July 1, 1998).   We deny Dugan’s

motion for production of documents. 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
