PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court’s order granting Appel-
lee’s motion to dismiss and denying relief on his petition filed
under 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 grant in forma pauperis status but deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-
ing of the district court. Fisher v. Young, No. CA-97-694 (E.D. Va.
June 4, 1998). 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
