PER CURIAM:
James Britt appeals 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 opin-
ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Britt’s
motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. Britt v. Angelone, No. CA-00-
1195-AM (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 19, 2000; entered Sept. 20, 2000).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
