    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissed Glenn Calvin Lawhorn Jr.'s appeal of a district court order dismissing his habeas corpus petition without prejudice. The appeals court found that Lawhorn's petition was successive and that he failed to obtain authorization to file a successive petition as required by law. As a result, the appeals court denied a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the reasoning of the district court.

    PER CURIAM:
    Glenn Calvin Lawhorn, Jr., seeks to appeal the district
    courts order dismissing without prejudice his petition filed under
    28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999).
    successive.

    Lawhorns petition is

    Because Lawhorn failed to file a motion for authori-

    zation to file a successive petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A.


    2244(b)(3)(A) (West Supp. 1999), we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
    court. See Lawhorn v. Saunders, CA-99-317-7 (W.D.Va. May 6, 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
