PER CURIAM:
Luther Carter Spain, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s
orders denying relief on his action construed as a petition filed
under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998) and denying his
motion to reconsider the judgment. We have reviewed the record and
the district court’s opinions and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Spain v. Virginia,
No. CA-98-216-2 (E.D. Va. April 24, 1998 & June 3, 1998). We deny
Spain’s motion for this court to adjudicate the civil action on the
merits. We deny Spain’s motion for 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
