¶1 David Charles Alston seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.2000) and his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Alston’s motion for appointment of counsel on appeal, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Alston v. Bumgarner, No. CA-99-751-5-H (E.D .N.C. Sept. 19; Nov. 8, 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.
¶2 DISMISSED.
