(CA-00-436-2)


Submitted:   January 5, 2001                 Decided:   February 7, 2001

cuit Judge.


Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


R. J. Keystone, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     R. J. Keystone seeks to appeal 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 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. Keystone v. Angelone, No. CA-00-436-

2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 8, 2000).   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
