Marvin Nathaniel Randolph, Appellant Pro Se. Mark Ralph Davis, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Marvin Nathaniel Randolph 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 dis-

trict court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court. See Randolph v. Angelone, No.

CA-98-398-R (W.D. Va. Oct. 14, 1998). We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.
