PER CURIAM:
Raymond Junior Hawkins seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
(West 1994 & Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict court’s opinion accepting in part and rejecting in part the
recommendations of the magistrate judge and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we deny Hawkins’ motions for appointment of
counsel and for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Hawkins v.
Haines, No. CA-98-997-5 (S.D.W. Va. Apr. 6, 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
