Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: David Clinton Green seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of ap- pealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Green v. Director, Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-99-614-AM (E.D. Va. July 29, 1999). Furthermore, we deny Appel- lant’s motion for oral argument because the facts and legal conten- tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
