PER CURIAM:
Troy Wayne Rodgers 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 memorandum opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-
ingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Rodgers v.
Angelone, No. CA-99-1309-AM (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 12, 2000; entered
Sept. 13, 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
