PER CURIAM:
Russell Anthony Romagna 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 and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. Romagna v. Virginia, No. CA-
01-816-AM (E.D. Va. June 27, 2001). We also deny Romagna’s request
for a writ of prohibition and for a transcript at the Government’s
expense. 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
