OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

relief on his habeas corpus petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), as
amended by Act of Apr. 24, 1996, 28 U.S.C.S. § 2254 (Law Co-op.

Advance Sheet June 1996). We have reviewed the record and the dis-

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

deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal; to the extent that

a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certifi-

cate. We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
Boblett v. Virginia Dep't of Corrections, No. CA-95-488-R (W.D. Va.

Dec. 13, 1995). 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
