PER CURIAM:
Troy R. Sutton appeals the district court’s order denying re-
lief 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 the
motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. See Sutton v. Angelone, No.
CA-00-592-2 (E.D. Va. Aug. 23, 2000). We dispense with oral argu-
ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-
sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
DISMISSED
