PER CURIAM:
Michael Leon Hill-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 dis-
trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. See Hill-Bey v. Director,
Virginia Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-99-415-AM (E.D. Va. Dec. 1,
1999). We also deny Hill-Bey’s motion for appointment of counsel.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal con-
tentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
