PER CURIAM:
Gary Boggs Alexander 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. United States v. Alexander,
Nos. CR-95-41-V; CA-96-168-5-4-V (W.D.N.C. filed, Oct. 31, 2000;
entered Nov. 2, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
