William Lee Walker, Appellant Pro Se. Diane Appleton Reeves, NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

William Lee Walker 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 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 Walker v. North Carolina Attor-

ney General, No. CA-99-803-1 (M.D.N.C. June 14, 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

* The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge under

(c) (1994).
