Jarrett D. Holden, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Jarrett D. Holden appeals the district court’s order granting
the Respondent’s motion to dismiss and denying relief on his
petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). 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
Holden v. Braxton, No. CA-01-709-AM (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 22, 2002
& entered Apr. 23, 2002). 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
