PER CURIAM:
George Edward Quesenberry appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 2000). In his petition, Quesenberry maintained that
the Virginia Parole Board’s revocation of good-time credits, earned
prior to parole release, violated the Ex Post Facto Clause. In the
recent decision of Warren v. Baskerville, F.3d , 2000 WL
1692658 (4th Cir. Nov. 13, 2000) (No. 99-7230), this court decided
this issue, holding that the Virginia Parole Board (“Board”)
possessed the authority to revoke good-time credits, and that the
Board’s policy change did not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause.
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dis-
miss the appeal. 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
