PER CURIAM:
Craig Arron Hooper seeks to appeal the district court’s order
dismissing his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994
& Supp. 2001) and denying his fourth motion for an extension of
time in which to file a response to the State’s motion to dismiss.
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. See Hooper v. Angelone, No. CA-01-379-3 (E.D. Va.
Nov. 28, 2001). We deny Hooper’s motion for transcripts at
Government expense. 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
