Petitioner - Appellant,

versus

GEORGE HINKLE, Warden, Augusta Correctional Center,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior District Judge. (CA-02-108-AM)

Submitted: July 25, 2002 Decided: July 31, 2002

Before WILKINS, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Will Adams, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Will Adams seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying

relief without prejudice on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. §

2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2002), for failure to exhaust state court

remedies. 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

reasoning of the district court. Adams v. Hinkle, No. CA-02-108-AM

(E.D. Va. Feb. 6, 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.

DISMISSED
