Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Joseph Lee Robinson 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 district

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

Robinson’s motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss

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

Lawrenceville Corr. Ctr., No. CA-99-1387-AM (E.D. Va. filed Aug.

21, 2000; entered Aug. 23, 2000).    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
