PER CURIAM:
Earl C. Murphy seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his action construed as a petition 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 and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Murphy
v. Marion Police Dep’t, No. CA-00-538-7 (W.D. Va. filed July 6,
2000; entered July 7, 2000). We dispense with oral argument be-
cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
