* Judge Murnaghan participated in the consideration of this case but died prior to the time the decision was filed. The decision is filed by a quorum of the panel pursuant to

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 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

PER CURIAM:

John A. Freeman, II, seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying relief on his petition filed under

(West 1994 & Supp. 2000) and denying reconsideration. We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and

orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court. See Freeman v. Virginia, No. CA-00-8 (W.D.

Va. Jan. 6 & 28, 2000; Feb. 22, 2000). 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
