UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 00-6746

ALLEN MCRAE,

Petitioner - Appellant,

versus

RONALD ANGELONE,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis- trict of Virginia, at Norfolk. Robert G. Doumar, Senior District Judge. (CA-99-1246)

Submitted: October 26, 2000 Decided: November 2, 2000

Before WIDENER, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Allen McRae, Appellant Pro Se. Leah Ann Darron, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Allen McRae appeals the district court’s order denying relief

on his petition filed under

(West 1994 & Supp.

2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

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

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. See McRae v. Angelone, No. CA-99-1246 (E.D.

Va. May 11, 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
