PER CURIAM:
Ernest Junior Thames 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 a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. Thames v. Walker, No. CA-01-
658-1 (M.D.N.C. Apr. 30, 2002). We grant Thames’ motion to
supplement the record, but deny his motions for appointment of
counsel and for transcripts at government 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
