See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Cedric J. Webb 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 district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error.      We decline to con-

sider Webb’s claim, presented for the first time on appeal, that

the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction of pos-

session with intent to distribute controlled substances.      See Muth

v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993).     Accordingly, we

deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court.       See Webb v. Braxton, No. CA-00-

816-7 (W.D. Va. Feb. 6, 2001).         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
