See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Larry E. Patterson appeals the district courts 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 Patter-
son’s motion for a certificate of appealability, deny in forma
pauperis status, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. See Patterson v. Angelone, No. CA-99-430 (E.D. Va.
June 16, 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
