US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 92 F.3d 1179 (4th Cir. 1996) Submitted July 23, 1996. Decided Aug. 5, 1996

William F. Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Susan Campbell Alexander, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his habeas corpus petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), as amended by, Act of Apr. 24, 1996, 28 U.S.C.S. § 2254 (Law. Co-op. Advance Sheet June 1996). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal; to the extent that a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certificate. We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Johnson v. Huffman, CA-95-220-R (W.D. Va. Mar. 5, 1996). 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.
