PER CURIAM:
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 appeal-
ability 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 argu-
ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
