Russell D. Rhyne, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Russell Rhyne seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny-
ing 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 deny
a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-
soning of the district court. See Rhyne v. Creecy, No. CA-98-333-
3-2-MU (W.D.N.C. Sept. 30, 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
