PER CURIAM:

     William Lee Walker 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 district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny

a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court.   See Walker v. North Carolina Attor-

ney General, No. CA-99-803-1 (M.D.N.C. June 14, 2000). 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

     *
       The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
