OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.

PER CURIAM:

     James Bennett Latham, Jr., seeks to appeal the district

court’s orders denying relief on his petition filed under 28

U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001) and denying his motion for

reconsideration.     We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinions and find no reversible error.        Accordingly, we

deny certificates of appealability and dismiss these appeals on the

reasoning of the district court.       Latham v. Garraghty, No. CA-00-

1005-AM (E.D. Va. Dec. 6, 2000; filed Feb. 6, 2001, and entered

Feb. 9, 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
