trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District
Judge. (CA-98-1719-AM)

Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and KING, Circuit Judges.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


James Michael Self, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     James Michael Self seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West

1994 & Supp. 1999) and motion to reconsider.   We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinions and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

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

Self v. Hinkle, No. CA-98-1719-AM (E.D. Va. Dec. 14, 1998 & Jan.

27, 1999).    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
