Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk.  Rebecca B. Smith, District Judge.  (CA-92-1119-2)
Glenn E. Spruill, Appellant Pro Se.
E.D.Va.
DISMISSED.
Before LUTTIG, Circuit Judge, and BUTZNER and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Glenn E. Spruill appeals from the district court's order dismissing without prejudice his claim under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) for failure to exhaust state remedies as required by § 2254(b).  Our review of the record discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.*  Spruill v. Murray, No. CA-921119-2 (E.D. Va.  Dec. 21, 1992).  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

*
 We modify the district court's judgment to reflect that the dismissal is without prejudice.  28 U.S.C. § 2106 (1988)
