PER CURIAM:
Bennie David Jones, Jr., 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 dis-
trict 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 Jones v. Pickelsimer, No.
CA-98-9-3-MU-1 (W.D.N.C. filed Aug. 10, 2000; entered Aug. 15,
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
