PER CURIAM:
Orlando Bailey-Bey 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). We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion. We find that the district court did not err in
finding that Bailey-Bey was not denied the effective assistance of
counsel and in finding that the state court’s denial of relief on
his substantive claims was not “contrary to, or an unreasonable
application of, clearly established Federal law.” 28 U.S.C.A. §
2254(d)(1). Accordingly, finding no reversible error, we deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
