    1) Eric Saunders filed a habeas corpus petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging his conviction, which the district court denied on the merits despite being an unauthorized successive petition. 2) The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Saunders' appeal because he did not obtain authorization from the appellate court to file a successive § 2254 petition in the district court, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2244. 3) The Fourth Circuit also denied a certificate of appealability and dispensed with oral argument, concluding the facts and legal issues were adequately presented in the court materials.

    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 99-7453

    ERIC D. SAUNDERS,
    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    RONALD J. ANGELONE,
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
    District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Henry C. Morgan, Jr., District
    Judge. (CA-99-1644)

    Submitted:

    January 20, 2000

    Decided:

    January 28, 2000

    Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Eric D. Saunders, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Eric D. Saunders seeks to appeal the district courts order
    denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West
    1994 & Supp. 1999).

    Although this was a successive petition, the

    district court denied relief on the merits.

    Because Saunders did

    not obtain authorization from this court to file the petition in


    the district court, we deny a certificate of appealability and
    dismiss the appeal.
    1999).

    See 28 U.S.C.A. 2244 (West 1994 & Supp.

    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
