See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on her 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 certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis- trict court. Archie v. Hobbs, No. CA-96-0469-R (W.D. Va. Feb. 5, 1997). 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
