PER CURIAM:
Ronald Jeffrey Brown, III, seeks to appeal the district
court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28
U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2002). We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See
Brown v. Director Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-01-405-3 (E.D. Va.
Dec. 13, 2001). We deny Brown’s motion for 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
