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.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 cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.* Congo v. Virginia Dep't of Corrections,
No. CA-96-279-AM (E.D. Va. Nov. 15, 1996). 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

    *
      We also deny Congo's motion for appointment of counsel. See
Whisenant v. Yuam, 739 F.2d 160, 163 (4th Cir. 1984) (providing
standard).
