Judge Murnaghan participated in the consideration of this
case but died prior to the time the decision was filed. The
decision is filed by a quorum of the panel pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 46(d).
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
John A. Freeman, II, seeks to appeal the district court’s
orders denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A.
§ 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2000) and denying reconsideration. We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and
orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-
tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. See Freeman v. Virginia, No. CA-00-8 (W.D.
Va. Jan. 6 & 28, 2000; Feb. 22, 2000). 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
