PER CURIAM:

     Lewis L. Pendleton, II, a Virginia prisoner, appeals the dis-

trict court’s order denying relief on his action asserting that the

Virginia Parole Board violated the Ex Post Facto Clause when, upon

revoking his parole, it likewise revoked his previously earned good

time credits. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Pendle-

ton’s motion for appointment of counsel, deny a certificate of

appealability, and dismiss on the reasoning of the district court.

See Pendleton v. Thompson, No. CA-99-291 (W.D. Va. Feb. 16, 2000);

see also Warren v. Baskerville, 

 (4th Cir. 2000).   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
