PER CURIAM:

     Randall   Posey   Lester    appeals   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. Accordingly, we deny

a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court.      Lester v. Saunders, No. CA-00-699-7

(W.D. Va. Apr. 27, 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
