PER CURIAM:

     Ronald Jeffrey Brown, III, seeks to appeal the district

court’s   order   denying   relief    on   his   petition   filed   under    28

U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2002).             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.                  See

Brown v. Director Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-01-405-3 (E.D. Va.

Dec. 13, 2001).      We deny Brown’s motion for 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
