PER CURIAM:
James E. Galloway appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &
Supp. 1999). Specifically, Galloway claims that there was insuf-
ficient evidence to support his Virginia assault and battery con-
viction. We have reviewed the record and, viewing the evidence in
the light most favorable to the prosecution, we find that any
rational trier of fact could have found Galloway guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt. See Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319
(1979). Consequently, we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
