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, deny the motion to appoint counsel, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Sneeden v. North Carolina, No. CA-94-716-5-BR (E.D.N.C. Aug. 7, 1995). 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
