PER CURIAM:
Dwayne Sylvester Barber 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. We further
note that Barber’s response to the Commonwealth’s motion to dismiss
was filed in the record and was addressed by the district court’s
opinion. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See
Barber v. Warden, No. CA-99-988 (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 14, 2000;
entered Apr. 17, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
