PER CURIAM:


Augustus Joseph Saunders seeks to appeal the district court's orders refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and denying relief from the judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 59. Our review of the record and the district court's opinions 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. Saunders v. Garraghty, CA-89-471-R (E.D. Va. Jan. 16 and Mar. 2, 1990). 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.
