Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Luther Robert Brown, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Drummond Bagwell, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Luther Robert Brown, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his petition filed under

(West 1994 & Supp. 2000). 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 Brown v. Warden, Lunen-

burg Correctional Ctr., No. CA-99-76-7 (W.D. Va. Feb. 15, 2000).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
