Joshua Bernard Johns, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Joshua Bernard Johns seeks to appeal 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 dis-

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

we deny a certificate of appealability, deny Johns’ motion for a

writ of habeas corpus, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court.    See Johns v. Baskerville, No. CA-01-58-AM

(E.D. Va. Feb. 22, 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
