PER CURIAM:
Gary Robert O’ Neal 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. See O’Neal v. Director, Dep’t of
Corr., No. CA-01-363-7 (W.D. Va. Apr. 1, 2002). We deny O’Neal’s
motion for appointment of counsel on appeal. 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
