PER CURIAM:
William Lee Walker 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. Accordingly, we deny
a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-
soning of the district court. See Walker v. North Carolina Attor-
ney General, No. CA-99-803-1 (M.D.N.C. June 14, 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
*
The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
