trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District
Judge. (CA-99-1484-AM)

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


George Tyrone Edmond, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     George Tyrone Edmond 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 dis-

trict 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 Edmond v. Angelone, No.

CA-99-1484-AM (E.D. Va. Dec. 20, 1999).      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
