David Lee Prince, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Linwood Theodore Wells,
Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994) (current
version at 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998)). We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable
cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. See Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S. ___, 1997 WL 338568
(U.S. June 23, 1997) (No. 96-6298); Prince v. Guillory, No. CA-95-
847-A (E.D. Va. July 29, 1997). 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
