PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court’s 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 court’s
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. Barker v. Deeds, No. CA-96-1488-AM (E.D. Va.
June 9, 1998). In addition, issues raised for the first time on ap-
peal will not be reviewed. See Satterfield v. Zahradnick, 572 F.2d
443, 446 (4th Cir. 1978). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
