Helfried E. Sartori, Appellant Pro Se. Linwood Theodore Wells, Jr.,
Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Helfried Sartori 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, while

we grant Sartori’s motion to supplement, we deny his motions for

appointment of counsel and for a certificate of appealability, and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.     See

Sartori v. Angelone, No. CA-01-573-AM (E.D. Va., filed Nov. 13,

2001; entered Nov. 14, 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
