Ricky Clyde Todd, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ricky Clyde Todd 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
a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-
soning of the district court. See Todd v. State of North Carolina,
No. CA-01-154-5-FO (E.D.N.C. Mar. 15, 2001). 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
