    Before WIDENER and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Lorenzo R. McKnight, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Lorenzo McKnight seeks to appeal the district courts order
    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 deny


    McKnights motion for appointment of counsel, deny McKnights
    motion to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
    court.

    See McKnight v. Virginia Probation & Parole District 34,

    No. CA-98-570-3 (Oct. 7, 1998).

    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
