PER CURIAM:
Romel Anemont appeals the district court’s order denying re-
lief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &
Supp. 1999). Because Anemont’s claims are procedurally barred, we
deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. See
Teague v. Lane, 489 U.S. 288, 297-98 (1989). 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
