Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Paul Mitchell Burgess appeals the district court's order denying relief on his petition filed 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 rea soiling of the district court. See Burgess v. North Carolina, No. CA-95-283-3-MU-2 (W.D.N.C. Sept. 28, 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.
