Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Lorenzo McKnight 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 McKnight’s motion for appointment of counsel, deny McKnight’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of appeal- ability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See McKnight v. Virginia Probation & Parole District 34, No. CA-98-570-3 (Oct. 7, 1998). 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 decisional process.

DISMISSED
