See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994) (current

version at 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997)). We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable
cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court. Boblett v. Virginia Dep't of Corrections, No. CA-
95-489-R (W.D. Va. Dec. 13, 1995). See Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S.

___, 1997 WL 338568 (U.S. June 23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-

quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.

                                                         DISMISSED
