PER CURIAM: Larry Keith Easter 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).

Accordingly, we deny a certif- icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Easter v. Angelone, No. CA-00-242, (E.D. Va. June 6, 2001). We grant Easter’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and deny his motions for appointment of counsel and for production of documents. We dispense with oral argument be- cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
