PER CURIAM:

     James Frederick Stevenson seeks to appeal 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 dis-

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

we deny Stevenson’s motion for a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Steven-

son v. French, No. CA-95-119-2-MU (W.D.N.C. filed Mar. 7, 2001;

entered Mar. 8, 2001).   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                          DISMISSED
