PER CURIAM:
Darnell L. Hudson seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying 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
a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-
soning of the district court. See Hudson v. Director of Virginia
Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-99-937 (W.D. Va. May 1, 2000). Hud-
son’s motion for appointment of counsel is denied. 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
