Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Elizabeth Knewasser seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on her 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. Knewasser v. Pattsull, No. CA-98-426- R (W.D. Va. July 8, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma- terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
