W.D. Va.

DISMISSED.

Before HALL and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Timothy Walton seeks to appeal the district court's order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition without prejudice for failure to exhaust. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Walton v. Hapgood, No. CA-92-493-R (W.D. Va. Nov. 9, 1992). 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
