Joshua Bernard Johns seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A § 2254 (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, deny Johns’ motion for a writ of habeas corpus, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Johns v. Baskerville, No. CA-01-58-AM (E.D.Va. Feb. 22, 2001). 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.
