No. 99-6833

JAMES H. BALDWIN,

Petitioner - Appellant,

versus

RONALD J. ANGELONE, Director of the Virginia Department of Corrections,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis- trict of Virginia, at Norfolk. Tommy E. Miller, Magistrate Judge. (CA-99-315-2)

Submitted: September 28, 1999 Decided: October 7, 1999

Before HAMILTON, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

James H. Baldwin, Appellant Pro Se. Marla Graff Decker, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant appeals the district court’s order denying relief on

his petition filed under

(West 1994 & Supp.

1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certifi-

cate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. See Baldwin v. Angelone, No. CA-99-315-2 (E.D.

Va. June 10, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

DISMISSED
