    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Malcolm J. Howard, District

    Submitted:

    October 17, 2000

    Before WILKINS and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Louis Smith, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Louis Smith seeks to appeal the district courts order denying
    relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 &
    Supp. 2000).

    We have reviewed the record and the district courts

    opinion and find no reversible error.

    Accordingly, we deny a cer-

    tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning


    of the district court. See Smith v. North Carolina, No. CA-00-1885-HO (E.D.N.C. May 2, 2000).
    ment of counsel.

    We deny Smiths motion for appoint-

    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
