See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Thomas Andrew Estes seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2000) and denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59 motion. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer- tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Estes v. Anderson, No. CA-00-257-2-1-MU (W.D.N.C. filed Dec. 8, 2000; entered Dec. 11, 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 2
