See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying
relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. We have reviewed
the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. Coffin v. Angelone, No. CA-96-8 (E.D. Va. Apr. 10, 1996).
Additionally, we deny Appellant's motions for: 1) a stay of his
state court conviction; 2) bail pending his appeal; 3) an expedited
appeal; and 4) oral argument. We dispense with oral argument be-
cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the deci-
sional process.
AFFIRMED
