    Submitted:

    Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.

    James D. Rich, Appellant Pro Se.
    Clarence Joe DelForge, III,
    OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North
    Carolina, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    James D. Rich seeks to appeal the district courts order
    denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West
    1994 & Supp. 2001).

    We have reviewed the record and the district

    courts opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny


    a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
    reasoning of the district court. See Rich v. Dotson, No. CA-00-658
    (E.D.N.C. Sept. 25, 2001).

    We deny Richs motion for appointment

    of counsel and his motion to compel.


    in forma pauperis.

    We also deny leave to proceed

    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
