PER CURIAM: Rickie Latimer seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). 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 rea- soning of the district court. Latimer v. North Carolina Parole Comm’n, No. CA-97-452-5-BO2 (E.D.N.C.

DISMISSED
