PER CURIAM:
Bernard Singleton seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed 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
Singleton’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, deny a
certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the rea-
soning of the district court. See Singleton v. Commonwealth of
Virginia, No. CA-00-1430-AM (E.D. Va. Sept. 13, 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
