Clarence E. Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Matthew P. Dullaghan, OF-
FICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Clarence E. Johnson seeks to appeal the district court’s order

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

1994 & Supp. 1999).   We have reviewed the record and the district

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

Johnson’s motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court.      See Johnson v.

Alderman, No. CA-99-77-AM (E.D. Va. Dec. 6, 1999).     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
