Michael R. Southall seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001), and his motion to reconsider. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Southall v. Kupec, No. CA-00-1246-AW (D. Md. filed Aug. 9, 2000; entered Aug. 10, 2000; Sept. 6, 2000); see also Crawley v. Catoe, 257 F.3d 395 (4th Cir. 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.
