PER CURIAM:
William Jones seeks to appeal 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 rea-
soning of the district court. See Jones v. Painter, No. CA-99-59-3
(N.D.W. Va. filed Apr. 5, 2001; entered Apr. 6, 2001). Jones’
motion to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
