    OPINION
    PER CURIAM:

    Denrick Eric Brown seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas
    corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254. 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. Brown v. William, CA-90-467-3 (E.D.Va. Apr.
    22, 1991). We also deny Brown's motion to amend as he may not raise an
    additional claim for the first time on appeal. 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.
