v.
WARDEN, NOTTOWAY CORRECTIONAL CENTER, Respondent-Appellee.
No. 96-6245.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: July 25, 1996.
Decided: August 7, 1996.
James Edward Blunt, Appellant Pro Se. Linwood Theodore Wells, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, VA, for Appellee.
Before LUTTIG and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal; to the extent that a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certificate.We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Blunt v. Warden, No. CA-95-1715-AM (E.D.Va. Feb. 1, 1996). 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
