Darryl A. Babb, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Darryl A. Babb 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
Babb’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of
appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. Babb v. Taylor, No. CA-00-1499-AM (E.D. Va. filed
Nov. 20, 2000; entered Nov. 21, 2000). In addition, we deny Babb’s
motion for leave to file his habeas corpus petition out of time.
See Harris v. Hutchinson, 209 F.3d 325, 328-31 (4th Cir. 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
