Attorney General, Dawn Ellen Warfield, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF WEST VIRGINIA, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Hartzel Ray Foster appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Foster v.
Painter, No. CA-99-48-2 (N.D.W. Va. Nov. 7, 2002). 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.
AFFIRMED
