MELVIN LEE JONES,
Petitioner - Appellant,
versus
RONALD J. ANGELONE, Director of the Virginia
Department of Corrections,
Respondent - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Henry C. Morgan, Jr., District
Judge. (CA-01-372-2)
Submitted: August 15, 2002 Decided: August 19, 2002
Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Melvin Lee Jones, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Melvin Lee Jones appeals the district court’s judgments
dismissing without prejudice his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.
§ 2254 (2000) and denying his motion for reconsideration. We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. See Jones v. Angelone, No. CA-01-372-2 (W.D. Va.
filed Aug. 22, 2002; entered Aug. 23, 2002 & July 2, 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
