Appellee.

PER CURIAM:
Joseph Lee Garrett seeks to appeal the district court's order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1999). 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 Garrett v. Angelone, No. CA-98-
670-R (W.D. Va. Mar. 23, 1999). We deny Garrett’s motion for
appointment of counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
