Christ G. Patsalos, Appellant Pro Se. Virginia Bidwell Theisen,
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Christ G. Patsalos appeals 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,    we   deny

Patsalos’ motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court.         See Patsalos v.

Angelone, No. CA-00-910-1-AM (E.D. Va. Aug. 8, 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
