PER CURIAM:
Ricardo Evans seeks to appeal the district court’s order de-
nying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
Evans’ motions to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis and for
appointment of counsel, deny a certificate of appealability, and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See
Evans v. Angelone, No. CA-00-3-A (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 3, 2000;
entered Apr. 5, 2000). 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
