    JOHN PAUL TURNER,


    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA,
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Samuel G. Wilson, Chief District
    Judge. (CA-97-2)
    Submitted:

    May 29, 1997

    Decided:

    June 10, 1997

    Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    John Paul Turner, Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief
    on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.
    1997). We have reviewed the record and the district 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. Turner v. Virginia, No. CA-97-2 (W.D. Va. Jan. 7,
    1997). 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
