PER CURIAM:

     Rodney Quinton Davis 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 and dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.    Davis v. Powell, No. CA-99-

1681 (E.D. Va. filed Aug. 17, 2000; entered Aug. 21, 2000).      We

further deny Davis’ motions for discovery and evidentiary hearing,

and for the appointment of counsel. 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
