See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     John Wesley Stewart seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998), and his motion for reconsideration.

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and

find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court. See Stewart v. Angelone, No. CA-98-407-R (W.D. Va.

Sept. 21 & Nov. 17, 1998).   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
