Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Raymond Junior Hawkins seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

(West 1994 & Supp. 2001).   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion accepting in part and rejecting in part the

recommendations of the magistrate judge and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we deny Hawkins’ motions for appointment of

counsel and for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the

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

Haines, No. CA-98-997-5 (S.D.W. Va. Apr. 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
