PER CURIAM:

     Christianne   Buchanan   appeals   the   district   court’s   order

denying relief on her 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

a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court. Buchanan v. Angelone, No. CA-97-264-R

(W.D. Va. Jan. 16, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                             DISMISSED
