trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. Albert V. Bryan, Jr., Senior
District Judge. (CA-00-203)

Submitted:   July 13, 2000                  Decided:   July 24, 2000

Before WIDENER, LUTTIG, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Herman C. Newman, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Herman C. Newman 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 agree with the court’s determination that Newman was

required to obtain permission from this court prior to filing a

successive § 2254 petition.    See 28 U.S.C.A. § 2244 (West Supp.

2000).   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on that basis.    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
