Stewart Linwood Persinger, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Beman Beasley, Jr., OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Before RUSSELL, HALL, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. 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 reasoning of the district court. Persinger v. Saunders, No. CA-95-426-R (W.D.Va. Mar. 19, 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
