Gene Stephen Owens, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Gene Stephen Owens 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 cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.    Owens v. Virginia, No. CA-00-1396-AM (E.D.

Va. Nov. 14, 2000).      We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                          DISMISSED
