trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior Dis-
trict Judge. (CA-00-763-AM)


Submitted:   December 12, 2000         Decided:     December 28, 2000


Before WIDENER, MICHAEL, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Jamel A. Lee, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Jamel A. Lee appeals 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 opin-

ion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.   See Lee v. Angelone, No. CA-00-763-AM (E.D.

Va. May 23, 2000).    We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          DISMISSED
