    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 99-6118

    MICHAEL A. GOODE,
    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    DIRECTOR OF VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. James R. Spencer, District Judge.
    (CA-98-572-3)

    Submitted:

    April 29, 1999

    Decided:

    May 5, 1999

    Before WILLIAMS, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Michael A. Goode, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Drummond Bagwell, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Michael Goode seeks to appeal the district courts orders
    denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West
    1994 & Supp. 1998).

    We have reviewed the record and the district

    courts opinion and find no reversible error.

    Accordingly, we

    grant in forma pauperis status but deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
    court.

    See Goode v. Director Virginia Dept of Corrections, No.

    CA-98-572-3 (E.D. Va. Jan. 6 & Jan. 20, 1999).

    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
