United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Earl C. Murphy, pro se.
Before WIDENER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Earl C. Murphy seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his action construed as a petition under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.2000). 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 reasoning of the district court. Murphy v. Marion Police Dep't, No. CA-00-538-7 (W.D.Va. filed July 6, 2000; entered July 7, 2000). 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.
