RONALD J. ANGELONE, Director of the Virginia

trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. Claude M. Hilton, Chief District
Judge. (CA-98-1864)

Before ERVIN, WILKINS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jose A. Lima, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jose A. Lima 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, deny leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. See Lima v. Angelone, No. CA-98-1864 (E.D. Va. Jan. 13,
1999). 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
