Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Michael Jamie Womack, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Michael Jamie Womack 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.      Womack v. True, No. CA-00-

857-7 (W.D. Va. Nov. 20, 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
