    Mark Morton filed a petition under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 seeking relief, which was denied by the district court. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reviewed the record and district court opinion and found no reversible error. The appeals court denied a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the reasoning of the district court's denial of Morton's petition. The appeals court dispensed with oral argument, finding the facts and legal issues were adequately presented in the case materials.

    DANIEL T. MAHON, Warden,
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
    District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Albert V. Bryan, Jr., Senior
    District Judge. (CA-98-1390-AM)

    Submitted:

    February 10, 2000

    Decided:

    February 17, 2000

    Before WIDENER and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior


    Circuit Judge.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Mark L. Morton, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Mark L. Morton seeks to appeal the district courts order
    denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West
    1994 & Supp. 1999).

    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 Morton v. Mahon, No. CA-98-1390AM (E.D. Va. Oct. 28, 1999).

    We dispense with oral argument be-

    cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in


    the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
    decisional process.

    DISMISSED
