PER CURIAM:
Robert Lawrence Taylor appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 2001). 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. Taylor v. Director Va. Dep’t of
Corrections, No. CA-00-1188 (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 5, 2000; entered
Oct. 6, 2000). 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
