Orian Lorenzo Jordan, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &

Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. Jordan v. North Carolina Dep't Corr., No.
CA-97-15-HC-BO (E.D.N.C. Jan. 15, 1997). We further deny Appel-

lant's motion for release based on an alleged sentencing error by

the state trial court. See Felton v. Barnett, 912 F.2d 92, 96 (4th
Cir. 1990). 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
