Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jaime Acevedo, Appellant Pro Se. Richard Bain Smith, Assistant At- torney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Jaime Acevedo seeks to appeal the district court’s order de-

nying relief on his petition filed under

(West

1994 & Supp. 1999). 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. See Acevedo v. Garraghty, No. CA-99-

288-7 (W.D. Va. Oct. 22, 1999). 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
