PER CURIAM:
Christopher Yves Gaynor 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 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. Gaynor v. Powell, No. CA-99-
1622-A (E.D. Va. Sept. 29, 2000). We deny Gaynor’s motions for an
evidentiary hearing and for appointment of counsel. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
