Joseph W. Gilley, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Leah Ann Darron, Assistant
Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Joseph W. Gilley 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 district
court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
Gilley’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of
appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. Gilley v. Angelone, No. CA-01-487 (E.D. Va. Dec.
11, 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
