Martin Lewin, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Drummond Bagwell, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

relief on his petition filed under

(1994) (current

version at

(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 probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court. See Lindh v. Murphy,

,

(U.S. June 23, 1997) (No. 96-5798); Lewin v. Thompson, No. CA-95-

514-R (W.D. Va. Mar. 31, 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 deci- sional process.

DISMISSED
