    Submitted:

    Before RUSSELL, HALL, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Winfield Dacost Speede, Appellant Pro Se. Eugene Paul Murphy, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
    Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying
    relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 &
    Supp. 1997) and the order denying his motion for reconsideration.
    We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and
    orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
    the district court. Speede v. Thompson, No. CA-96-573-R (W.D. Va.
    Dec. 17, 1996 and Jan. 7, 1997). 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
