Wendell Moss appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Moss’ motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of ap-pealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Moss v. Wright, No. CA-00-1239-AM (E.D.Va. Dec. 6, 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.
