JARRETT D. HOLDEN,

                                               Petitioner - Appellant,

          versus

District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T.S. Ellis, III, District
Judge. (CA-01-709-AM)

Jarrett D. Holden, Appellant Pro Se. Leah Ann Darron, Assistant
Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Jarrett D. Holden appeals the district court’s order granting

the Respondent’s motion to dismiss and denying relief on his

petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000).       We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.               See

Holden v. Braxton, No. CA-01-709-AM (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 22, 2002

& entered Apr. 23, 2002).     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
