District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior
District Judge. (CA-01-943-AM)


Submitted:   May 16, 2002                   Decided:   May 23, 2002


Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

William H. Harvey, Appellant Pro Se.    Thomas Drummond Bagwell,
Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      William H. Harvey seeks to appeal the district court’s order

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

1994 & Supp. 2001).     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

reasoning of the district court.         See Harvey v. Angelone, No. CA-

01-943-AM (E.D. Va. filed Dec. 10, 2001; entered Dec. 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
