Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

       Wayne A. Derryberry appeals the district court’s orders de-

nying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West

1994 & Supp. 1999), and denying him a certificate of appealability.

We have reviewed the record, and the district court’s opinion

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge, and the dis-

trict court’s orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

deny Derryberry’s motion for appointment of counsel, deny a certif-

icate of appealability, and dismiss his appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.      See Derryberry v. Painter, No. CA-97-988-5

(S.D.W. Va. Mar. 30 & Aug. 20, 1999).        We dispense with oral argu-

ment   because   the   facts   and   legal   contentions   are   adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

                                                                  DISMISSED
