PER CURIAM:

      Gary Camp 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 in forma

pauperis status, deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss

the   appeal   on   the   reasoning   of   the   district   court.    Camp   v.

Saunders, No. CA-96-531-R (W.D. Va. June 4, 1996). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                                     DISMISSED
