Eduard Lorenz, Appellant Pro Se. Matthew P. Dullaghan, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Eduard Lorenz seeks to appeal the district court’s order
dismissing without prejudice his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A.
§ 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999) for failing to exhaust state
remedies. We have reviewed the record and the district court's
memorandum opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. See Lorenz v. Alderman, No. CA-99-793-M (E.D. Va.
Sept. 30, 1999). We grant Lorenz’s motion requesting that the
appeal proceed under Rule 30(f) of the Federal Rules of Appellate
Procedure. We deny his motions requesting that he appear pro hac
vice and for leave to file additional evidence. We deny Lorenz’s
motion for 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
